thinking about girl dustin dating absolutely the worst dude, who is like slightly better than the guys she normally dates because he thinks it's cool that she's a wrestler and wants to come to her local shows.
except he thinks it's cool in a gross fetishy way where he thinks girls play fighting in their underwear is hot, not so much the comedy wrestling+lucha libre that chuck taylor does. he definitely HATES orange cassidy, which is fine because jim hates him too. she hates all the guys dustin dates because they're always assholes who make shitty comments about her weight and hit on other girls in front of her and get all pissy when she's mean-funny to them. but this guy's the worst. he thinks it's hot for dustin to kiss girls but not if that girl is jim because jim's a lesbian
he's soooooo insecure about jim and dustin's friendship, and tbh he's right to be, hellooooo, they are deeply in love even if they won't realise it's mutual for another few years, but he's viciously homophobic about it. fully like, jim is a predatory lesbian trying to corrupt my innocent girlfriend and i cannot let them be alone together or dustin will catch the gay. crucially he never says anything like this to dustin or where dustin can hear, but he's shitty to jim's face often enough that jim's like absolutely fuck this, i'm not hanging out with you and your shitty boyfriend any more, have fun with that.
anyway then he dumps dustin and jim is like thank GOD but also dustin is turbo depressed about it, so jim's at least trying to be a supportive friend. and it's not exactly a hardship to let dustin shittalk this guy jim absolutely hates and had to pretend she didn't for months and months. and jim's saying the usual like "yeah fuck that guy. you deserve better than someone who put you down constantly and didn't know shit about wrestling but thought he could tell you what you should do with your career and also body and fitness and etc"
but then totally offhand jim is like "what a homophobic asshole" not thinking about what she's saying at all or being pointed or anything, but dustin sits UP. she's been crying for like an hour, her face is all gross and blotchy and her eyes are red but she suddenly looks the most serious she ever has. and she says "wait. what the fuck." and that's how jim finds out dustin didn't know the guy she was dating was being actively homophobic to jim the whole time, and how dustin finds out jim didn't think that would be a deal breaker for dustin if she knew about it.
