the al ghuls’ whole thing is supposed to be protecting endangered exotic species of animals etc so i really think that talia (arab princess-adjacent that she is) would definitely have falcons for falconry especially bc it’s literally part of her heritage
commissions
Fr tho!! I really think Talia should shift away from romance and family conflict and her stories should focus on being a mother and how it’s changed her.
y'all you know what i realized? bruce and all of his lovers are literally the definition of a situationship.
bruce and Selina: selina was only in love with batman
bruce and harvey: weird friends-with-benefits thing where one wanted the relationship more than the other
bruce and talia: she quite literally slept with him to make the perfect solider
bruce and clark: if they don't know each others identities, then it's bad because they're going behind each others backs. If they know each others identities then it's weird because they'd be dating as co-workers.
Also bruce has many other love interests(fun fact: that includes Lois Lane) and half of them are rouges. Sooo y'know, bit of a weird relationship if your boyfriend has dedicated his whole life to stopping you and your friends shenanigans.
Side note, why are so many of bruces lovers rouges? like I get everyone has a type buttttt.
I’m about to drop a series of posts with little drabbles and ideas for Talias life. I was gonna make it all one post but I figured I could get more traction this way hopefully. Please keep in mind that I am making a lot of this shit up on how I THINK characters should be written instead of what’s canon and that I might change my mind on stuff as I go but this is just it for rn.
bro the new bangalore skin ……………………………..
I think they’d be a little bit of both! I like to imagine Talia had a public reputation similar to Bruce Wayne and not very many people recognize her or the Al Ghul name. So in public they’re cushy celebrities but in private they are very sweet and very in love ☺️
Yes, I'm nitpicking Talia's characterisation. There are things that I consider in my head canon and things that are canon that I don't consider canon, especially if those certain things are retconned and racially motivated, but that's just me.
hi! would you be willing to draw talia teaching baby/ toddler damian how to waltz/dance by having him stand on her feet? thank you!
THIS IS THE CUTEST THING EVER, AND I WISH I WAS BETTER AT DRAWING BECAUSE I FEEL IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH RAAAAAH I'M SORRY
I really wanted to draw them in Nanda Parbat or something like that, idk, BUT AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRAW BACKGROUNDS.
...
And I'm too lazy to learn/pain.
PS: Oh my ducking God, this looks SO much darker in my phone, THIS is suffering.
My guilt will not purify me.

I thought about Lifeline with her hair down and got killed on the spot by my own heart

Melisande (Talias mother) to me was a figure of light and love for Talia in her formative years. While her father would train her, the only times he’d ever go easy were when Melisande asked him to. She was an excellent care taker. Soft and warm in contrast to the cold callousness of Ra’s. She who would hold Talia and sing her lullabies, stroke her back and hold her hand. Who could persuade Ra’a to do the best thing when doing the right thing wasn’t possible. Beloved by her people. Her death scarred the family forever. Ra’s pushed harder, his recklessness caused him to use the pits more than he should have, and caused Talia to train relentlessly day and night. It hardened both of them, but Ra’s was already stone to begin with.
