You're Cassandra Cain. Your adoptive mom has a homoerotic relationship with a woman who has a homoerotic relationship with your bio mom.

You take that weird relationship and then form your own weird relationship by having a homoerotic relationship with your brother's ex

Everyone always talks about how Eobard Thawne is one of the funniest antagonists in the DCU, but I think we should talk more about Lady Shiva because her life goal is literally "maybe I'll fuck around and everyone else will find out."

She trains heroes for the bit so she can beat them up later. She saved Vic Sage's life only to say she'd kill him if he refused to defend himself and never once dropped her fan while she beat his ass. When Cass meets her, she's eating at a 5-star restaurant and planning to murder a woman for paying for bodyguards instead of defending herself. She calls Tim "little bird" and tells him in advance that she's planning to come kill him. Sometimes she just randomly shows up specifically so she can fuck with Dinah and then leave. Peak humor.

She's so incredibly bored all the time. All she wants is a challenge. So in lieu of that, she just makes it her mission in life to fuck with everyone for fun. No loyalties, no massive personal beef with anyone (still living). Just vibes. What a woman.

Remember the time when Shiva picked up a pair of swords and threw one to Cass before their duel to make it a fair fight, and Cass promptly tossed it aside and cut through Shiva's sword with her BARE HAND? That's what's called a power move kids.

I like to think it was at that exact moment Shiva knew she could not allow herself to die any other way.

This fandom focuses so much on the bad depictions of Bruce, it's easy to forget that there have been plenty of examples in the last few years of him being good to the rest of the Bat-family. Here are some of them, because I think the fandom could use the reminder.

(The set of panels about the kids stealing Dick's wallet don't involve Bruce, but I included them to give context to the next screenshot.)

edit: Added a couple more.

When I say Shiva had respect for other peoples personal codes I mean she appreciated anything that she found interesting, including people who did not share her philosophy and world views (because there was NOBODY who shared her philosophy and world views, nobody who was remotely like her).

I always got the sense that she approved greatly of others going through their own personal journeys in order to reach their full potential, and this was doubly true when the end result of them reaching their full potential was having somebody else in the world worth fighting. (See Cass or even Dinah) Then, in the case of Dragon or Vic (on top of that), you kind of get the sense that she’s fond of them. They’re both unconventional enough to be entertaining, and they’re always in dangererous situations (she loves that especially). They’re also both very disciplined, and Richard cares as much as she does about the art of combat. That’s why she likes them, that’s why she hangs around them sometimes. That’s why they’re the closest thing she has to friends.

But she would never want them or anyone to become evil due to her manipulations (though I will stress again, the manipulative part of her personality came from Dixon alone) or due to trauma inflicted by her, because that would be predictable and boring. She doesn’t care for people who are predictable and boring.

Anyways… Most important comic book page for understanding Shiva (to me):

I hate that DC fans, Marvel fans, and Invincible fans especially on reddit deny the existence of fandom racism and fandom misogyny.

Cassandra Cain and Jason Todd parallels - "I'm ready"

I tried not to compare Jason and Cassandra paths, I really did. But they are my favourites out of all Bat-related characters and Batman talks to her about Jason, a little, and

and she goes to find her mother, to ask if she's her mother, to know, to see for herself, she needs it,

and ends up. dying. I. I can't.

He gets..

She gets...

He's forced to remember

She won't do anything but remember

(which is... not a good example, but can you blame me? Her whole Batgirl run is full of memories she keeps bringing up. She's consumed by her past, but.. she's, at the same time, so much more than this past.)

There is no end, there is no beginning. What do they see, looking in the mirror?

They die as heroes.

(she won)

(he lost)

...and it's their mothers who set deadly traps for them. Their mothers are the reason they die.

then..

Someone tells them they are alive, somehow, again.

And it's a mistake - to let them live.

Their mothers are dead.

Everything has changed.

Something in their very souls twists.

They are different, now, too.

“why do you headcanon jason todd as a poc?” idk maybe it’s because he was racially ambiguous enough to the point where he considered lady shiva as one of the potential candidates to be his bio mother as a possibility.

#dc comics #dc universe #dcu #batman #red hood #jason todd #jason peter todd #jason was never the angry robin #lady shiva #sandra wu san #person of color jason todd #poc jason todd #i don’t really care for the adif comic because of how islamophobic and pro-z10n1st it was #(if you don’t know one of jason’s bio mom candidates was a spy for the isnotreal government) #but yeah i kinda find the part where he believed shiva to be his mother hilarious #and that and sh*ela betraying him to the joker to save her own skin are the only things i consider canon imo #it’s wild that willis todd and shiva actually knew each other tho

So obviously the person most alike Bruce in the world is Cass, but the curious thing is if you ask me the same doesn't apply in vice versa. The person most alike Cass in the world is not Bruce. It's Shiva. Now obviously I know how that sounds but Shiva understands Cass intrinsically on a level Bruce can't even comprehend because she and Cass see the world arranged along the exact same moral and philosophical lines, they just place themselves on opposite sides of those lines. They are both effectively the same person with their empathy stat inverted.
