Actually a lot of Dick and Jason's relationship is just:

Dick: Let me help you.

Jason: Fuck off!

But don't get it twisted because Jason's the one who wants Dick's attention, not the other way around.

I'm confused about how Jason feels towards Dick. It's stated so many times in comics that they are brothers but Jason sometines tries to kill Dick? (And tim too) And i mean of course he has a very fcked mind but when did he get better with his older brother? How does he really feels about Dick? And how do they bond?

Basically, what you need to know is that Jason's characterization is extremely inconsistent, and because of this, it makes his relationship with Dick extremely inconsistent as well. So that's why Jason killing Dick and the whole brothers thing is intertwined and a total headache to piece together (unless you know the entire timeline of their relationship like I unfortunately do). Like you really do have to be following along with current comics to some degree to keep up with the ever-changing state of affairs between Dick and Jason.

To try and answer some of your other questions without braining myself:

Jason feels inferior to Dick. He feels like Bruce loves Dick best. After he was resurrected, he didn't care whether he hurt Dick or if Dick died. Though there was a moment where he gave Dick information he had. He also impersonated Nightwing and started murdering people. He also, of course, hurt Dick and Dick's loved ones.

However, in N52, DC decided to start integrating Jason back into the family, and this is when Dick and Jason started to work together at times. They were more frequently referenced as brothers in the Rebirth and current era. Jason may or may not still do something to hurt Dick depending on the writer (like I said, Jason is written inconsistently). As of right now, DC seems to be trying to distance Jason from the family again, though Dick is still watching out for Jason (I'm actually about to post some panels of this so stayed tuned ig).

As for bonding... they don't really do that. Other than fighting together.

Dick helped Tim move into his houseboat if you even care.

I was under the impression that dick was 6 ft only in the games and 5'10 everywhere else and in mainstream canon, but then I found this and now I don't know what to believe 😭

If he was 6ft as Robin then it stands to reason he could actually be even taller as Nightwing...

That aside: I'm starting to hate this short king Dick agenda...like 5'10 is not even that short lol

Since that profile mentions his transition to Nightwing, I assume they're talking about him being 6'0 in his later Robin years when he's already 19 and pretty much done growing. Or they're just talking about his height as Nightwing. Either way.

His exact height has never been something I cared that much about tbh. But yeah, 5'10 is slightly above average in height for an American male. I guess people call him short king because he's shorter than Kory, but that's because she's like 6'4. Then there are the people who want him to be shorter because of the whole acrobatic aspect.

5'10 is fine though. It's the answer I'd give if someone asked me how tall he was.

So my favourite version of the Nightwing name origin is from Action Comics #886, where Nightwing is a dragon-like deity from a Kryptonian myth. He was created by Rao "to seek out evil and corruption that hides in the shadows; to pursue it and destroy it."

Very cool.

Anyway, it gave me an idea for an AU: what if, through some comic book shenanigans, Dick became the vessel for Nightwing of Krypton? ...You know, kind of Naruto-style? (Because apparently those old hyperfixations never really leave you xD)

Maybe it would have happened when he took on the name? Idk I just think it'd be neat

Tl;dr: lock up a giant dragon in that boy

If that turns out to not be true and we don't see Dick and Donna on the phone then I will be devastated. The most kicked puppy you'll ever see. My entire happiness depends on this.

There’s something I love about this scene where Dick interrupts Donna and Terry’s lunch date just so he can talk about his feelings. Instead of addressing both of them while he’s talking, he stares at Donna the whole time. Even when Terry reaches out to shake Dick’s hand, Dick is looking at Donna while he’s talking. Then Dick and Donna keep standing shoulder to shoulder while they’re talking, forcing Terry to stand behind them or beside them, and it makes Terry look like a third wheel. 

Part of me likes to think that since Dick and Donna usually discuss their relationship problems with each other, they naturally shift closer together to make it feel like their conversation is private. It’s like they’re in their own little world where they can give each other their full attention. I think it’s also because they’re used to touching in some way when trying to give each other emotional support whether that be hugging, holding hands, shoulder touches, a forehead kiss, etc. 

Anyways, this is just a PSA that Dick and Donna are the cutest besties.
