Talia Art FINISHED. Im Really Obsessed With The Classic Talia Look, The Swoosh Looks So Good... And It

In my stories, Damian is the key figure that drives Talia towards a decision. For so many years she’d been towing the line between Good and Evil. Her lover or her father. But when Damian is born, neither of those things matter as much as making sure her child is okay. It’s why she makes the difficult decision of sending him away. She knows he’ll be happier with Bruce because she too would be happier with him, but her days of lying to Ra’s were over. She couldn’t make long trips to Gotham under the guise of “seducing the Bat.” Her father would see right through it. And Bruce grew tired of sneaking around. But sweet Damian… to hold him in her arms and tell him stories of the world. To watch him sulk and whine when she’d beaten him at a game of chess. To see his face light up whenever she came home from a long trip. Every little thing added up to something beautiful. In her heart, there is nothing she could possibly love more than her child. If Talia ever got the chance to grow as close to the other batfamily kids, they’d be right there alongside him. Even though it’s clear who her favorite is… Jason is second.

I love love love Talia so much but I just have had such low energy for writing and drawing in general for so long but especially for her. It gets to be really annoying trying to find a space to be creative with other people, spaces where I typically flourish, but majority of them are despicably toxic. I want to share my thoughts about Talia and all the amazing ideas I have had about her that could fix her narratively and even give her so much more to do, but there aren’t a lot of people who are interested or even willing to hear it. She unfortunately has a poor standing with the fandom, and for a while, I just got tired of explaining why people were wrong about her.

WELL NOT ANYMORE!!!

2 TALIA DRAWINGS IN THE SAME MONTH??? OMGOMGOMG

I saw the comments you left under some of my posts and I love them. Do you have any more Talia and Brutalia headcanons?

I always do!! And I will be posting tons of hcs as I post my writings and art here down the line. I come up with them on a whim usually so I’ll just say the ones I’ve been pondering lately!

Also, I’m so sorry if I was spamming you 😭 I was scrolling Brutalia tag in the middle of the night and didn’t realize that like half the most recent posts were you!!

To start, I’ve been thinking about the Lazarus pits a lot lately. Especially everything between Talia and Nyssa, and the effects and details of her brainwashing. It is a confusing timeline that I’m trying my hardest to piece together, but it seems like DC has sort of just pushed that to the back of their minds? Which is unfortunate, honestly, because if they wanted a true villain Nyssa would have been the clear answer. Instead, we ended up with evil Talia for seemingly no reason… until that black Pearl stuff showed up, and then also disappeared.

The timeline I’ve pieced together, loosely, is made with an effort to stay as true to canon as possible while also keeping away from the extremely ooc writing. I want to find a way to keep in that brief moment of freedom she had when she was running LexCorp, as well as her journey toward becoming a mother. Which I will detail a bit now, because I love to think of Talia’s relationship with motherhood!

Talia has always loved children dearly. However, the idea of being a mother herself was always sort of scary. She’d lost her own mother when she was young, and never really had a clear example of how to mother a child aside from distant memories. (I can detail my hcs about her relationship with her mother soon as well, bc those are some that I hold close to my heart.)

It wasn’t until she’d been with Bruce for a while and spent enough time around Jason that she began to feel that ‘maternal pang’ so to speak. Jason is such a bright eyed child with so much potential, and each moment she’s spent around him she only seems to like him more and more. Bruce tells her not to spoil him so much but she can’t help it! Her relationship with Bruce and Jason give her a small amount of hope for a more normal life away from the league, though she is not yet at the stage where she would be able to fully leave her father.

When Jason died, it hit her like a truck. She’d distanced herself from Bruce at that time, thinking that her presence would only cause more trouble for them if the rest of the league suspected her of defecting. So she hadn’t gotten the chance to say goodbye, or try to make things right. She brings him back for Bruce’s sake, but for her sake as well. She would have ordered the Jokers head if she could have, but she couldn’t directly cross Bruce in such a way. If Jason’s death would ever be avenged, she knew he’d have to do it himself.

Talia doesn’t just raise him from the dead and train him right away. She spends a long time nursing him back to health, taking baby steps with him. She has some of the best doctors in the world taking care of him, and when he shows the signs of being ready, then she starts his training. She doesn’t train him with hopes that he will be a killing machine. She tries to teach him responsibility, and good judgement. She tries to right the wrongs that have been committed against him as much as she can. And then he’s gone.

This is where the timeline is a bit iffy. I’m wondering if Damian would have been born at that time or not? Would he have been incredibly young? In my head, it does make sense for him to be born by then. Talia distances herself from Bruce and Jason not only for their safety, but because of the series of miscarriages she’d had in her effort to have a child with Bruce. All were kept a secret from him, except the first. She was ashamed and depressed for so long because of it. After a few tries, she’d gotten desperate enough to run back to her father for help. The Lazarus helped her birth Damian, a perfectly healthy baby, finally. But with everything that happened, it felt unfair to return to Bruce with a baby out of nowhere.

I could sit here and ramble about this for hours and hours but I’m unfortunately very busy today. Please stay tuned and I’ll continue with more of these ramblings when I can. Thank you for asking! Please give your opinions on what I’ve written, because none of my hcs are set in stone and I would love to hear if I’ve gotten something completely wrong. Although it should absolutely be noted that the version of Talia I’m writing isn’t directly related to canon. :)
