I am obsessed with the idea of Dick Grayson, recently become Nightwing, finding out about Jason being Robin and wanting to be angry at him but then Jason is a ball of sunshine and it melts Dick’s icy anger out before he even says a word.
Like imagine him going to complain about it to the Titians!
Wally: so how was meeting the new kid?
Dick(annoyed): it was horrible! He’s so precious!!
Roy: is that juxtaposition?
Dick: how am I meant to be angry at him for taking my place… when he goes and says “Robin is Magic”! And now what?! Am I meant to say that little boy doesn’t deserve that magic?! That little ball of sunshine that could probably power superman better than our sun does!? He deserves it!
Donna: so you’re still annoyed because?
Roy: he’s angry that he can’t be angry.
#Jason was the nice Robin we all know this by now#he was also just a ball of sunshine#dick Grayson has anger issues#but he’s not heartless#THE KID IS BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN#the Titians didnf believe him so when he finally had Jason visit none of them were ready for him and they’re hearts melted away into mush
Dick decides if he can't be angry at Jason, he'll be angry at Bruce.
Dick: You better not let anything happen to this little angel, or so help me!
And since Dick was targeting his anger towards Bruce for bring Jason into vigilantism, it only makes it worse when he comes back from his off world mission to learn that Jason, his angelic little brother, had his wings clipped by the Joker, and he didn't know, he wasn't able to help his little Wing as the light of his life was snuffed out. And Bruce didn't even wait for his return before having the funeral, Dick didn't even get to see his brother.
Although Jason probably had a closed casket because of his injuries from the bomb, it probably would have helped Dick in some way to see his brother again. As someone who has had a family member pass, the death doesn't really hit you, the fact that you'll never see them again, never feel their hugs... it doesn't really hit you until you see them lying there, motionless in the coffin, ice cold. It hurts, but from my experience, it is necessary to solidify in your mind that they are gone, it is necessary to help move on, to continue living without wallowing in sorrow.

....so I honestly only meant this to be light-hearted, you know, Dick not being able to be angry at Jason "Robin is magic" Todd, and instead it got really sad really quick... Oops.
