This is a very very cool post. I personally refer to Talia as the heart of the demon as well, but I had never put much thought into the others, aside from Nyssa. I’ve dabbled with her a bit, but not even remotely close to as much as Talia!

since al ghul isn't really a surname — it's a title, meaning "of the demon," i started thinking about the different monikers (i.e., organs) that could be attributed to the other members of the family.

ra's is the head, the mind that plots, the will that commands. rúh, the soul, is the unseen force—the essence of the dynasty.

talia al ghul – the heart (qalb) talia is the emotional core of the al ghul family, often torn between loyalty to her father and her love for bruce wayne. her decisions, though calculated, are deeply driven by matters of the heart—love, betrayal, and faith. she embodies passion and connection, making her the family’s qalb.

dusan al ghul – the shadow (dhil) dusan, the "white ghost," operates in the margins of the al ghul legacy. his role is one of quiet devotion, cast aside, yet, always present. his loyalty and sacrifice, earn him the title of the dhil, the shadow that follows without faltering.

nyssa raatko – the spine (amud al-faqr) nyssa is the backbone of resistance and rebellion within the al ghul family. her strength and defiance against her father’s rule position her as the amud al-faqr, the spine, unyielding and essential for standing tall against opposition.

melisande – the blood (dam) melisande represents the lifeline that connects the family to its mortal roots. her role in the al ghul saga may be fleeting, but her influence flows through talia and the family’s lineage, much like blood sustains life. she is the dam, a vital yet often overlooked element.

sora – the lungs (riyah) sora, ra’s al ghul’s lost love, is the breath of life that once inspired him. her memory fuels his ambition, and her loss suffocates him. she is the riyah, the lungs, symbolising both the life-giving force and the void left behind when it is gone.

damian wayne – the hands (aydi) damian, born of both the waynes and the al ghuls, is the agent of the family’s will. whether building or destroying, his actions carry the burden of legacy. as the aydi, the hands, he represents both creation and conflict, the tangible force that shapes the future.

athanasia al ghul - the pulse (nafas) athanasia is the constant heartbeat that keeps their future alive. she sustains life, binding the waynes and the al ghuls, a reminder that their stength lies not just in their past, but in their ability to endure and evolve. this vitality makes her the nabadh, the pulse, the promise of renewal.

mara al ghul – the eyes (ayn) mara is the family’s watcher, a presence that perceives more than what it reveals. she is a visionary, seeing not just what is before her, but what lies beneath and beyond. she is the ayn, the eyes, ever watchful, attuned to every rhythm and dissonance.

[ we know very little about dusan's wife, but i think that she would be the sawt, the voice, a balance between silence and sound. ]

do you guys ever think about how they would watch my little pony together and have sleepovers because i do all the time 24/7 they are always on my brain i love them

A commissioned piece from the awesome and talented @frijolbean!!! It's even more amazing that the image in my head!!! 🤯💖

Go check out their page!!! Their commissions are closed at the moment but when they open back up I definitely recommend them! 😁

Ok, so a little bit about this piece: I love Talia and I think, no I KNOW, she is a Queen. Absolute boss bitch. Any way I really wanted to see a family portrait of her and the only two men in her life that actually matter, her legacy, her sons. A Queen and her heirs.

Disclaimer: I disregard canon because I live in a parallel universe where DC has good writers

I’m pretty sure I’ve already posted this picture but… that ass grab.

talia comes to the manor to visit damian and when bruce offers a guest room for her to stay in for the night she goes ‘no thanks, i already arranged to stay with my other son’

‘what’

damian’s just chill like ‘oh you will be staying with red hood? very well, i shall visit you both in the morning for breakfast’

bruce, again, ‘what.’

talia nods ‘that sounds perfect. if you are free for the day maybe you could join us; i promised jason we would spend the day tracking down and killing that joker fellow. hes been saving the kill to use as a family bonding experience.’

bruce, yet again ‘FUCKING WHAT’

talia just turns to him exasperated ‘well you could join us if you want to beloved but i dont believe jason views you as a father anymore so he might not be happy if you show up.’

‘WHAT DO YOU MEAN’

Damian and Talia :D

Al Ghul Family Values 🗡️ (2015 vs 2024 redraw under the cut!)

The most iconic and fashion forward family, see them in their new show now streaming on LexFlix By Kiara | flxshdoodles

talia, meaning: lamb, heaven’s dew, to bloom.

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.

Begging for more Talia am Ghul in your style!!! Your art is gorgeous<333

Thank u random citizen!!! Hope u like it :)

Click for better quality maybe that just be the sigmatisn or something

I couldn’t see Talia genuinely loving someone like Pamela. They are both eco terrorists, but Pamela is significantly more drastic in her mission than the LoA is. Plus, I don’t think Pamela would love Talia either. What with the whole hatred for all human life thing. I could see them working together toward a common goal, but not sticking together through the end. Either Pamela would betray Talia (presumedly by trying to kill Batman) or Talia would betray Pamela (by preventing her from fully carrying out her mission.)

I do like to think about interactions between them though! I can definitely see them working together to try and save an endangered species of plant somewhere or maybe drive away some deforesters

eco terrorist wives

Talia!

Al Ghul.

Ppl who draw Jason as a redhead… count your days.

peepaw and his baby boy

How can you even say that Talia is a different character now than before, she’s always been an evil villain. She killed someone in her first appearance with no mercy.

???? 🤨 “killed someone with no mercy”

My dude, did we even read the same comic? Lol

She shoots at Dr.Darrk because he’s about to try and kill Bruce himself. And “no mercy”? Lol. She cries right after she does it.

And honestly?? Always evil?

Wow definitely.

She would never try and protect someone

Or stop them from dying.

Or go against her father’s will

Or help anyone who wasn’t Batman.

Nope. I honestly can’t even think of any moment. Can you imagine that?

I also want to add that I do art! I am going through a bit of an art style crisis as of late, but if people want to request things from me, I’ll try to get them done. Here’s some of my work :)

Plus, I WILL take writing requests if people want to see a particular scenario! So it’s not just headcanon requests or anything like that, it’s also writing and art as a whole!!

(Sorry about the filter, I just don’t watermark my art because I don’t post it online, but I didn’t want anyone to steal and take credit. I’ll be sure to properly watermark the art I post and it will look totally normal.)

I just opened up my ask page, which I did not have before because I’m very stupid and do not know how to use tumblr. I would really appreciate it if people would submit any questions they have, especially about Talia and the Al Ghul family. Also, if you have any tips on how I can make my page a bit more tumblr friendly, I’d so greatly appreciate it! I really don’t use tumblr much, I don’t have the most practice with it, so I’m still figuring things out. I hope to make my posts more aesthetically pleasing in the future. Thank youuu!!

What are your guys thoughts on the Al Ghuls having a connection to magic/potentially being magic users themselves? Do you prefer the scientific approach to Lazarus, or the magical side? Would you like to see Damian, Talia, Ra’s, or Jason have some sort of magic as a result of their connection to the Lazarus magic?

Personally, I wish DC would do more with it. I think there’s a way to give them a slight magic connection without it making them over powered. The idea that the dramatic use of Lazarus has made it bind with their blood and thus always with them is so interesting.

The way I think about it is just that Ra’s was more in tune with the scientific side of things, sticking with more grounded realistic ideologies, which makes his disconnect with magic very realistic. Thus Talia would be rather uninformed about that side of things until much later in her life. I really want to focus on her exploration of magic in the story I’m writing, hopefully that’s something people will be interested in seeing!

ALSO! Do you guys prefer Talia to use traditional weapons like swords, bow/arrows, etc or do you prefer her original choice of guns? I genuinely like to see a mix of them all, but I sort of prefer the traditional weaponry, despite my having drawn her with guns a few times. I think it shows how she has become more ingrained into the league over the years.
