Chapter Text

Hey everyone! NonnyMouse here. It's been... a minute. Or a year... haaaah!

I had the writer's block from hell... and honestly I still feel it a bit? I think I'm falling into the trap of taking life too seriously. So this is me trying to undo that.
Learning html seemed interesting. Text fics seemed interesting. HP fanfic was making me a little sad and a lot overwhelmed. I think most of you get the many reasons why. So I'm going to do something lightweight here in Heated Rivalry Land for a week or two and then try to return to the mammoths that I want to finish. And then I'm going to find new a fandom for inspiration, tbh. It's time for something new!
In the meantime, I hope you have some fun with this! I'm going to try many new formats, so if anything is too confusing let me know. <3

To the real ones who encouraged me to come back, thank you! Ily.

Hey, I'm sorry for adding you to the group chat. It seems like you didn't want to be in it? I misunderstood.
I didn't realize you and Marlow had a problem.
I can text you personally if there are any plans or schedule changes that we discuss there if you'd like! I don't want you to miss out on anything.

Ilya:

Shane:
Okay! Sorry about the Marlow thing. I didn't know.

You're friends?

Ilya:

Shane:
Oh, okay. I guess I read it wrong.
Texting is hard sometimes haha!
But I'm glad you two get along. Good for the team!
I'll just add you back to the group chat. Sorry for the weird offers hah.

Ilya:

i forget plans all the time

You tell me that at least twice a day. No breaking your own rules!!

Rose:

But SHAAAANE
I am so unprepared
What if I flop???
I'm gonna flop aren't I??

Shane:
You're not going to flop.
But you will if you don't eat and sleep.
We can run lines in between bites of cheesy noodles.
Would you say no to cheesy noodles??

Rose:
You know I wouldn't.
Ok fineeee
You win
Just this once

Shane:
Hey now! :/
I plan to win often this season, thank you very much!

Mom

Today 6:33 PM

Mom:
Happy Sunday, Shane! Your dad says he misses you!

Shane:
Hey Mom! Love and miss you both. Tell Dad I'm missing his spaghetti most of all. The cafeteria here is so sad.

Mom:
Aww honey! We'll pack you extra when you come to visit next weekend.

Shane:
I see what you did there.

Mom:
(Smiling Face With Halo)
How was the week?

Shane:
Mostly ok! I only got lost once, this time!

Mom:
Progress! (Smiling Face With Open Mouth And Cold Sweat )

Shane:
Yeah, it's better, I guess.
The rink's been great, though. Coach knows his stuff.

Mom:
Are the boys working well together so far?

Shane:
Yeah, pretty much! Admin made a mess of things, so we won't know the lineup for another week. But we've done a ton of rotations. I think I'll be comfortable no matter who's in my line.
I mean... if I even get on the roster, of course!

Mom:
Shane don't be silly.
We both know you're second line at worst.

Shane:
Mommm
Don't jinx it!!

Mom:
Sorry honey.
But it's just logic.

Shane:
You are so embarrassing.

Mom:
Complain all you want.
My kid is the best kid.
I have the stats to prove it.
Link: What to know about the Centaurs roster: who to follow...

Shane:
I hate how you had that ready to send.

Mom:
No you don't. (Heavy Black Heart ≊ Red Heart)

Shane:
ughhhh
Rose says hi.

Mom:
Hello my lovely girl!! I hope you are well!! Text me soon pls!! Sunday check ins are required of all my children!!

Shane:
Mom stop XD

Mom:
Never (Smiling Face With Smiling Eyes )

Shane:
She says she is very stressed and would like a Momma Yuna hug.
She has her first audition this week.

Mom:
Awww our actress extraordinaire!!
She will get the part. I just know it. (Heavy Black Heart ≊ Red Heart)(Heavy Black Heart ≊ Red Heart)

Shane:
That's what I told her, but she keeps telling me that's bad luck to think.

Mom:
Ah, yes. Theater people. Hmmm.
Tell her I hope she breaks both her knees!

Shane:
XD
She loved that.
Oh no watch her start telling me that before games.

Mom:
She had better not if she ever wants to come to the Hollander house again!!

Shane:
You don't want to see her expression right now...
You've made a monster, I think.

Mom:
Oh no! Not our Rosey!! What have I done!?
Tell her to call me after the audition. We can girl talk and decompress.

Shane:
You're the best, Mom.

Mom:
I love you both. (Smiling Face With Heart-Shaped Eyes ) Best overachievers I know! (Heavy Black Heart ≊ Red Heart)

Shane:
Hey Roz this is dumb but my brain won't turn off tonight so
um
You wrote that thing about me having good advice or whatever and
that's not really true.
I just sort of say what I think my mom would or something. It feels weird to call it my advice. Anyway.
You're part of chat too. And the team so.
If advice I think my mom would say will help... you should ask me. Or um. Maybe we could just ask her instead I don't know.
Sorry.
I just. I've been having a kind of hard time adjusting to all the new things here, but then I was just thinking no matter how overwhelming it is, I'm still in Canada. I'm still speaking the same languages I grew up hearing. I can even just drive home if I need to.
And I realized you don't have any of that right now.
That's...
you have a lot of courage I think.
If you ever get lonely my Dad does spaghetti dinners some Sundays. There's always a couple of guys who end up going. JJ's there a lot.
It's not like... familiar food, probably. But it's homemade! Which is comforting too? Maybe?
Idk. You should come sometime. If you want to.

СБТ (Saturday (abbr.)) 20:14 Wyatt Hayes: I am dead coach has killed me

Nick Chouinard: for real though

Wyatt Hayes: Why was today hockey camp 2.0

Nick Chouinard: finalizing the line, probably

Wyatt Hayes: Ughhhh
Why must you come in here with your logic while my legs feel like this??

Nick Chouinard: sometimes it really do be that way

JJ Boiziau: holy shit roz
I knew you were good but I didn't know you were GOOD

we might have a fucking chance this year

Nick Chouinard: no yeah holy fuck
I knew with Hollander we had a fighting chance but we might win games?!? go to playoffs even???

Ilya Rozanov: i tell you all this before
you not use listen ears
we will go to playoffs
we will win all
we will sign to NHL win there

Nick Chouinard: if you're not captain by next year I will riot

Wyatt Hayes: Nah I'm still hoping Hollander. Roz has magnatism but Hollander has IQ like no one here.
And he comes with bonus manager mom.
The DEALS we would get. (Fire )

Nick Chouinard: booooo

JJ Boiziau: non wait he has a point

Tommy Andersson: tbh Roz I don't actually get why
you're here??

you're too good for us man

Nick Chouinard: true. Hollander I get
he's neurotic enough to like "go in the right order" with uni or some shit
but you don't strike me as like that

Shane Hollander: I'm what now?

Ilya Rozanov: ah
is good point
i... @cliffmarlow what you think
i good to tell or will be problem?

Cliff Marlow: ...

Cliff:

might be some issue with Pike but then again his girl drags him around by the nose and she's got photos at pride events
JJ is toss up. seems to hate being left out though so probs should just tell now
Idk about Hollzy. clammed up every time I got close to the subject
Ilya:
hollander is fine
Cliff:
you sure?
Ilya:
да (yes)
Cliff:
fair
Ilya:
will the seniors be a problem?
Cliff:
a couple are questionable but they're on the way out. and you can ask the rookies not to say anything if you like. they don't seem like they'd tell
Ilya:
ok
this feels big
Cliff:
it is big
Ilya:

Cliff:
I can break all their necks for you if you need it
Ilya:

Hayden Pike: You couldn't wait for the drafts?

Ilya Rozanov: ah. no.

Hayden Pike: jesus

Cliff Marlow: We could get a student visa quickly, but a work visa wouldn't cover him until he was actually drafted. Would've been months before he'd be technically "working"
we didn't have the time

JJ Boiziau: roz what the fuck happened in russia

Ilya Rozanov: this is part that is hard

JJ Boiziau: bit fucking intense for someone you met in person like a week ago

Evan Dykstra: he fixed my backhand in ten minutes today
russia doesn't know what it's missing

Hayden Pike: You can say that one again

JJ Boiziau: agreed

Evan Dykstra: if your bid for citizenship falls through we will just get married so you can have a spousal visa roz, fuck the nhl. idgaf if they ever draft me.

Nick Chouinard: you're going to be drafted dykstra, fuck off

Cliff Marlow: @wyatthayes @shanehollander?? we good?

1 Day Since Ilya Last Left Chat

Tuesday 9:25 AM
JJ Boiziau: The worst part of hockey is having to cram all your studying into the first half of the week while all your group chats make plans
Evan Dykstra: damn look at mr has-more-friends-than-us over here
JJ Boiziau: fuck off
Evan Dykstra: Kobe what? gif
sorry I can't hear you over the sound of all your other group chats
Hayden Pike: I thought you didn't go to class JJ?
Is the dream dead already?
JJ Boiziau: I said I didn't go to class, not that I didn't do work
Probably have better grades than you (Middle Finger)
Hayden Pike: Are you sure about that gif
Nick Chouinard: I am also cramming today
Bood is helping
someone save me
Evan Dykstra: BOOOOOOD
Hayden Pike: Boodram!!!
Wyatt Hayes: BOOD
Cliff Marlow: Bood!!
JJ Boiziau: chat has been summoned by love of Bood
Tommy Andersson: tell him we say hi
Cliff Marlow: ask him where he gets the good stick tape
mine is fraying like crazy
Nick Chouinard: he says the supply closet lol
are you waxing it?
Cliff Marlow: should I be?
Shane Hollander: Wtf.
Hayden Pike: Shane has been summoned by the ghost of bad hockey advice past
Wyatt Hayes: Note that he was not summoned by actual hockey angel and grill king, Zane Boodram. But by stick tape
Shane Hollander: Yes, Marly.
Wax always. Or the tape will fray.
Like it has been fraying.
Cliff Marlow: that makes sense
thank you Bood and Hollzy
and NO ONE ELSE
Nick Chouinard: wow real nice
see if I pass on messages for you again
Hayden Pike: It feels ass to be asking him things via a group chat he's not in anyways
JJ Boiziau: That's what the teamwide chat is for
Wyatt Hayes: but we never go there. It sucks there
Hayden Pike: This is what I mean
Should we add him or?
Cliff Marlow: he's not a rookie. rookie chat is sacred
Shane Hollander: Ilya says he's in the super secret first line chat with Bood and D, so you shouldn't feel too bad.
Evan Dykstra: definitely not. this is my safe space from that menace
Wyatt Hayes: "Ilya says" ???
can he not say it himself?
Shane Hollander: He is apparently very busy playing flappy birds
Ilya in backseat of Shane's selfie, on phone

Hayden Pike: This is codependent behavior. We need an intervention.
Evan Dykstra: where are you guys?
Shane Hollander: DMV
JJ Boiziau: blech. my condolences
Hayden Pike: Shane.
Who is in the driver's seat?
Shane Hollander: ...
Hayden Pike: Tell me that's not your mother in the driver's seat
Shane Hollander: That's not my mother in the driver's seat.
Hayden Pike: SHANE.
Shane Hollander: It's not!!

It might be my dad, though.
Hayden Pike: (Disappointed Face)
Shane Hollander: He asked to come ok!!!
He works in government. He wants to help Ilya.
JJ Boiziau: ok, but don't both of your parents work in finance?
Shane Hollander: He's a treasurer, yes. But like for the state!!
Hayden Pike: (Unamused Face)
Shane Hollander: Oh fuck off, Hayden.
Ilya Rozanov: fuck off hayden

Hayden Pike: rabbit?
Ilya Rozanov: you bounce bounce bounce get all mad

Shane Hollander: Hey, everyone! My parents have offered to host a dinner after the game on Friday. Most of you already have the address, but dm me if you need it. They'll do grill food, salad, spaghetti, that kind of thing. Probably do a bonfire in the backyard. Feel free to bring whatever foods to share. BYOB, but like. Be mindful about it. Ilya's going to do a pub crawl afterwards, I think, for those that are interested.

WE HAVE A CHANCE! Centaurs crush Toronto 4-2

New head coach, Brandon Wiebe, has us starting strong! This marks our first opening win in ten years. What more is in store for the Centaurs this season?

Selena Messy, Hockey
Published: 12:29 AM, 19 Sept | Updated: 6:29 PM, 19 Sept

The sound was deafening inside the beaver dome tonight as forward Zane Boodram dodged his Toronto opponent and passed to center Ilya Rozanov, securing the Centaurs' fourth and final goal. With seven seconds left on the clock, the Guardians had lost their chance to tie the game, bringing the first win to Ottawa in a decade.

To say the crowd was enthusiastic is the understatement of the century. They were (and I don't say this lightly) completely losing their minds. I would swear I saw real, actual tears. It didn't matter that Centaurs' games are notorious for empty seats and halfhearted fans - in that moment, the audience was reborn. Even Chuck, our normally scruffy Beaver, was losing his tail.

Coach Brandon Wiebe cites several people for this season's opening miracle, though he notably refuses to acknowledge his own coaching...

Read More...

"It's all our guys," he said, "we knew this could be the year we really shake things up, but we would have to take some risks."

By risks, he means a roster featuring far more newcomers in the first and second lines than the Centaurs have seen in several seasons. This is especially true for our centers, after graduations and an off-season injury gave us more openings than we had players. Wiebe didn't have trouble filling those spots for long, though: Ottawa-born Shane Hollander, up-and-coming center in the junior leagues and captain of the Canadian Junior Worlds' team, was willing to come to the table. When Shane said yes, Wiebe knew he had a shot.

Then this summer, a second strike of lightning: Cliff Marlow, one of our new forwards and a promising player in his own right, wanted to talk. And it wasn't to negotiate his signing bonus.

"We got really lucky this year," said Wiebe, "Ilya Rozanov was looking for schools to sign just as our budget negotiations went through. I suddenly had the wiggle room to make better offers to prospective players, and one of the best we could find fell right into my lap."

Rozanov, who scored two of the night's four goals, has been placed in the first line despite his late arrival. He's already impressing fans and teammates alike, but keeping his spot as star center may be harder than it appears.

"I'm going to make [Hollander and Rozanov] work for it," said Wiebe, "I'm not trying to brag, [but] they're two of the strongest kids I've seen in this league. It's easy to get bored when you're good at something, even with guys as competitive as Shane and Ilya. They need something to work for, and they've both gotten too used to trophies. So Roz has the first line spot for now, but it's only for now. Shane gets ahead of him in scoring, and first line is his. I'm keeping the team on their toes this year, and hopefully that'll translate to more nights like this."

The fans will be on their toes right along with them. Only time will tell as the season unfolds, but one thing's for sure - it's going to be a lot harder to get your hands on tickets.

Evan Dykstra: right??
TWO IN A ROW
Nick Chouinard: two in a row!!!
Wyatt Hayes: It's a STREAK BABY!!!
Hayden Pike: I'm going jogging to burn it off tbh
Wyatt Hayes: What, were the wind sprints on the ice not enough?
Hayden Pike: ...
no.
I need an hour of light cardio
my brain is fried
Evan Dykstra: I'll join if you want
Hayden Pike: Bless
Meet at north common @10?
Evan Dykstra: (Thumbs Up)
Tommy Andersson: ugh you both are so lame
meanwhile I have to quick study somehow for a quiz tomorrow
Nick Chouinard: you and whose brain?
Tommy Andersson: exactly the problem
Low Battery Gif
Wyatt Hayes: you're not alone @tommyandersson
I'm trying to get everything done before away week
but it's not happening tonight
can't sleep can't study
should've gone to the bars with you guys @cliffmarlow
I should learn I'm toast even after a 3 o'clock game
Hayden Pike: Wait, Marlow's at the bars?
Wyatt Hayes: yeah he and roz went with some of the girls they're always with
Nick Chouinard: girls flock around those two idfk how they do it
Tommy Andersson: pheremones
Hayden Pike: good hair
Wyatt Hayes: @haydenpike I take that personally wtf
Evan Dykstra: @wyatthayes same. but for a different reason, I think.
Tommy Andersson: so roz and marly get laid and i get a headache memorizing stupid notes
Not Fair Sticker
Wyatt Hayes: and filling out forms don't forget the forms (T-T)
Tommy Andersson: ugh how could i
Hayden Pike: Actually yes, don't forget about the forms!
Coach needs them by Wednesday!
Wyatt Hayes: Thank you, @shanehollander.
Hayden Pike: Fuck off.
Shane Hollander: Fuck off.
Nick Chouinard: ...what happens if the forms don't get filled in?
Hayden Pike: Why do you ask, Chewy?
Wyatt Hayes: coach bursts blood vessels, probably
Tommy Andersson: what's happening Chouinard?
Nick Chouinard: i have this fucking stupid professeur
he says he will not sign i can just take the zeros or get out
except the program has a new sign-in policy
I lose 10% of my grade for those absences
Evan Dykstra: that fucking blows, man
Wyatt Hayes: he's not allowed to do that
Hayden Pike: No
Like he actually isn't allowed to
It violates his contract
And i think the law??
@shanehollander am i crazy
Tommy Andersson: Roz is having the same problem
I'll tell you what I told him
the coach can get involved and solve the problem
but long-term this prof is going to be a piece of work
better to just switch classes now before you're stuck with other issues
Nick Chouinard: it's a required course and he's the only one who teaches it
Evan Dykstra: well fuck
Tommy Andersson: knulla: fuck
Nick Chouinard: it feels like he is just laughing at me about it
but maybe i am missing some things with the language difference idk
Shane Hollander: @haydenpike you are not crazy
@nickchouinard if the language barrier is why he's being difficult, it's extra illegal
I'm going to give your contact info to my mom, and you and I are going to talk to coach on Monday.
Either your prof is going to give you an exception like he's supposed to, or admin has to hire a prof who will
or exempt you from the requirement.
Which they can do.
We will fix this.
Evan Dykstra: you're literally a superhero Hollander

Tommy Andersson: Captain Canada

I went back and forth about writing this much of the chapter in French, but I am going to trust you guys to enjoy the tap-tap-tap of translating it. And I think slowing down in that section will help give the words some weight.

I'm going to have to call you in more often but I don't want you to overextend so nothing extra about today's game, ok?
I'd rather we take a few losses early in the season than burn you guys out.
Keep it controlled. Pace yourself.

Jean-Jacques Boiziau, Centaur

Monday 11:40 AM
Shane: Slt. Donc. C’est quoi ce bordel? (Hey. So. Wtf is this?)
J'essaie de rester oklm, mais Hayden me stresse à mort. Câlice. (I am trying to be cool about this, but Hayden is freaking me the fuck out.)
Se passe avec cette conversation putain de groupe ? Tabarnak! (The fuck is that fucking chat about?)
JJ: c juste hayden qui fait du hayden. c ca. (it's just hayden being hayden. that's it.)
c un gars putain anxieux; n'y pense même pas ses névroses. (he's a fucking anxious guy; forget about his neuroses)
il a créé c groupe parce qu'il s'est mis à se chialer de votre rompre (he started that group bc he got all whiny/crying about your breakup)
il pensait que tu craquais, et tu n'en parlais à potes. (he thought you were cracking up and you weren't talking about it with your friends)
on l'a calme, cpg (we calmed him down, don't worry)
on l'utilise pour envoyer des choses gentilles à ton sujet et merde (we use it to send nice things about you n shit)
c comme un fan club d'amis (it's like your friend fan club)
je peux tu envoyer les historiques de convo si ça tu inquièt (I can send you the chat logs if you're stressed)
Shane: Non, Je - (No, I)
Tabarnak et sacrament (Fucking Hell)
Je sais que tu te moquerais pas de moi putain dans mon dos. (I know you wouldn't fuck with me behind my back.)
JJ: non merde, je les enverrai quand même (nah shit, I'll send them anyways)
aucune raison de pas les (no reason not to)
Shane: Qu'est-ce que le «chialer de votre rompre» signifie? (What does "whiny about breakup" mean?)
JJ: il pensait juste que t'étais trop calme jsp (he just thought you were too calm idk)
Shane: Maintenant, je ne peux même plus rompre correctement pour il. (Now I can't even break up correctly for him.)
sacrament (fuck)
JJ: frère, il est paranoïaque et hystérique (brother he's paranoid and hysterical)
c pas toi (it's not you)
est-ce que je te le dirais ou non si ct toi?? (would I or would I not tell you if it was you)
Shane: Tu me le dirais si c'était moi. (You would tell me if it was me.)
JJ: voir? (see?)
c PAS toi (it's NOT you)
il agit comme un p'tit gars pathétique à chaque rompre avec sa copine. il suppose que vous réagirez de la même (he's a pathetic little boy every time he breaks up with his gf. he assumes you will react the same way)
mais il oublie qu'il putain l'aime ou qqch (but he forgets he fucking loves her or something)
tu considères Rose comme une sœur, n'est-ce pas? (you think of Rose as a sister, yeah?)
Shane: ouais (yeah)
JJ: donc. pas du tout la même chose (so. not the same thing at all)
il est incapable de voir au-delà de son propre point de vue (he just can't see outside himself)
Tu ne ... jsp... ressent pas d'émotions incorrectes (you're not... idk... having the wrong emotions about it)
et tu ne les montres pas incorrectes (or showing them wrong)
Shane: dac (okay (abbr.))
JJ: c tres stupide putain (it's so fucking stupid)
c putain pas notre affaire (it's not our fucking business)
on veut juste que tu sois heureux, et Hayden est merde pour y contribuer (we just want you to be happy and Hayden's shit at contributing to that)
il ferait mieux de s'occuper de ses affaires. j'arrête pas de le lui répéter (he needs to mind his business I keep telling him)
mais aussi (but also)
donc. ca reste ici, hein? (so. this stays here, yeah?)
Shane: Oui. (Yes.)
JJ: dac. donc. (ok. so.)
si tu la considères comme une sœur, je m'en fous, dac? (if you think of her as a sister I don't give a shit, ok?)
Shane: D'accord. (Okay.)
JJ: mais aussi (but also)
si tu considères PAS «quelqu'un» comme un frère, je m'en fous aussi, dac?? (if you think of "someone" NOT as a brother I also do not give a shit, ok?)
Shane: sacrament (fucking hell)
JJ: vous pouvez me dire que j'ai tort si vous voulez, Shane (you can tell me I'm wrong if you want, Shane)
Shane: câlice (fuck)
tabarnak (fuck)
sacrament (fuck)
JJ: rien ne sort de ce texto, je le jure sur la Vierge Marie (this does not leave this chat I swear to mother mary)
Shane: sacrament (fuck)
dac (ok)
sacrament (fuck)
JJ: je veux juste que tu le saches (I just need you to know)
je veux dire, tu as rencontré mes amis en dehors de la patinoire (I mean you've met my friends outside the rink)
je sais que tu sais que je suis en sécurité (I know you know I'm safe)
mais. tu sais? (but. you know?)
Shane: oui (yes)
je sais (I know)
JJ: tu peux être comme tu veux, ce n'est pas un problème (you can be however it's not a problem)
l'équipe s'en fout complètement (the team doesn't care)
mais aussi – si vous n'êtes pas intéressée par lui, peut-être prendre un peu de recul (but also - if you're not into him, maybe back off a bit)
je pense que tout le monde a commencé à le sentir une vibe (I think everyone is kind of feeling a vibe)
Shane: vraiment? (really?)
JJ: oui. au moins qu'il a le béguin pour toi (yeah. at least that he has a crush you)
mais jsp s'ils pensent que tu le remarques pas ou qqch (but idk if they just think you don't notice or smth)
Shane: juste (fair)
uph
Je ne sais pas quoi faire, JJ. Je ne sais vraiment pas. (I don't know what to do, JJ. I really don't know.)
JJ: je pense que tes parents seraient cool, Shane (I think your parents would be cool with it, Shane)
en tant que personne qui les connaît depuis qu'on était en jrs (as someone who has known them since juniors)
je suis pas mal certain qu'ils iront bien (I think they will be good about it)
Shane: Je le sais, en fait. Je crois. (I know that, actually. I think.)
Je suis juste (I'm just)
C'est juste une autre différence, je pense. (It's just one more thing that's different, I think.)
J'en ai tellement marre d'être différente. (I'm so tired of being different.)
JJ: ouais (yeah)
putain, mec (fuck, man)
tu SAIS que je comprends ça (you KNOW I get that)
mais peut-être que c'est justement comme ça que tu te sens moins seul? (but maybe this is actually the way you are less lonely about it?)
le fait de pouvoir parler à Bood m'a vraiment aidé à me ( having Bood to talk to has really helped me feel it less)
peut-être que ça va t'arriver aussi (maybe it will happen for you too)
Shane: ...
Et si je ne m'intègre pas non plus à ces gens-là? (What do I do if I don't fit in with this too?)
JJ: tu intègre bien avec moi, mon frère (you fit in with me, brother)
si le reste du monde est une salope avec toi, laisse-moi m'en prendre à eux (if the rest of the world is a bitch to you, let me at 'em)
qu'ils aillent tous se faire foutre (fuck 'em all)
pour info, Hayden partage mon avis (Hayden feels the same too, for the record)
il est juste une salope à ce sujet (he's just a bitch about it)
Shane: merci jj (thank
you JJ)

JJ: tu le sais, mec (you know it, man)

ПНД (Monday (abbr.)) 19:18 Yuna:
How are you kids doing? My phone has been too quiet.
Ilya:
i am sorry yuna
i could not keep my promise to you
Yuna:
Honey, I think taking my kid to the aquarium counts as keeping your promise.
Unless you lost Nick somewhere?
Ilya:
no he is back safe
Yuna:
Then you succeeded!
Ilya:
thank you for being so nice about it
but i promised you goals
i am very sorry for disappointing you
i will work harder
Yuna:
Young man. I know that is not the ethic of your team.
It's definitely not the ethic of my family.
You do not apologize for a game loss when you very clearly did your best.
And you do not promise to work harder when I know for a fact you put in more hours than most of your team.
Ilya:
ah
i not know words rules here sometimes
please forgive me
Yuna:
No. Ilya.
This is too hard to do over text.
Call me.
Ilya:
is not big thing
Yuna:

I will drive out there if I have to.

Nick Chouinard: damn, baby u work fast
Tommy Andersson: (Face Throwing A Kiss)
Wyatt Hayes: @nickchouinard if you pick me instead, I will take you on a date to the comic book store
Cliff Marlow: @wyatthayes pick-me confirmed?
Nick Chouinard: somehow I feel like there's an ulterior motive to this
Tommy Andersson: you just want company at the store, don't you Wyatt
Wyatt Hayes: who me meme
Cliff Marlow: he only wants you for your body smh
Nick Chouinard: and here I thought you really liked me (Persevering Face)
Evan Dykstra: don't do it @nickchouinard
he conned me into it last time
I just stood awkwardly while he buried his head in the shelves
the most boring three hours of my life
Wyatt Hayes: I wasn't THAT bad
Tommy Andersson: THREE HOURS???

Cliff Marlow: third?
Tommy Andersson: you must immediately tell us the list
for science
JJ Boiziau: I'm can't wait to hear this meme
Evan Dykstra: Hayden, obviously, though half of that is bc the Hollanders let him invite people to their house
Roz bc he actually knows every person alive

Wyatt Hayes: I can't tell if I love or hate this assessment of my personality
Nick Chouinard: crying bc I just realized I am like the only introvert here help
Tommy Andersson: rip sorry Chewy
tell me when you need to take breaks at parties I can sneak you out back
Cliff Marlow: is Hollander not an introvert?
Hayden Pike: he likes to be in the room, he just doesn't always want to be the center of attention
but trust - put us all together doing quiet things and that kid is floating
@ilyarozanov can attest
JJ Boiziau: agreed. he's just an extrovert that hates loud noises
and crowded spaces
Cliff Marlow: how tf does hockey work then
Hayden Pike: mysteries of the universe
JJ Boiziau: he likes the sound of the ice and his own heartbeat
Hayden Pike: wait, really?
JJ Boiziau: and he likes the strategy. and exercise, obviously. says it's grounding
how do you not know this, Hayden?
do you not listen to any of us
Wyatt Hayes: Hayden about to get demoted behind Roz for being a bad friend smh
Hayden Pike: Hey no!! I listen!! Maybe we just talk about other things?
Cliff Marlow: you talk about other. things.
with Hollander.
uh huh. sure.
JJ Boiziau: smh
Tommy Andersson: wait
speaking of the new #1 extrovert
has anyone heard from roz today?
we usually pass like five times on campus and I haven't seen him once
not to mention practice

Shane: Have you heard from Ilya?
Svetlana: ah

Shane: ???????
Wtf is going on.
Why would I think he is not safe??
Svetlana: блядь (fuck)
I thought you knew
Shane: Knew what!!?
Svetlana: he is going to be so mad at me
Shane: Let him.
What is going on?
Svetlana: short answer is family shit
makes depression
or maybe depression makes family shit
one or other I don't know
I guess you should know this at least
or will soon anyways?
I got Marlow to bully him into calling your father for advice so your family know
Ilyushka's brother got in contact
found new number
Shane: Well fuck
Svetlana: yes
not good
you really were not told?
Shane: My dad kept it to himself I guess.
Svetlana: fuck
I am bad friend
Shane: You're really really not
I promise you
Svetlana: ) thank you Shane
from what I know you are ok too
Shane: Hah thanks.
10:32 AM

Svetta: он сегодня хорошо к тебе относится? (he being good to you?)
Ilya: я лежу под четырьмя одеялами и смотрю какую-то глупую передачу о формировании кристаллов льда (i am under four blankets watching some dumb show about ice crystal formation)
Svetta: Он такой милый, правда? (he is so sweet isn't he)

Mom

Wednesday 3:24 PM
Mom: how is our boy?
Shane: He's ok.
He's sleeping
Mom: Ok.
Your dad is looking into options.
I don't know how much Ilya told you.
Shane: I know his brother called.
I gather he's being threatened.
He literally ran from the country but then still gave his family his team signing bonus.
I think it was like... a payoff maybe??
So he must be pretty scared.
Though I know his dad is sick so maybe it isn't like that.
Mom: Family is tricky business sometimes. You can love someone and have them be a big problem for you at the same time.
Shane: I didn't even think.
Are you doing ok?
Mom: I am fine baby.
It's nice, actually. I get to be the helpful one, for once. (Smiling Face)
But I have a serious question to ask you.
How likely is it that you and he will continue to be connected long-term?
Shane: It's starting to feel hard to imagine life without him around tbh.
Mom: Good.
I would like to keep him, if that's ok.
Shane: That's the most okay.
Mom: (Smiling Face, Heart)

Yuna Hollander: Baby kid, I'm going to get you more work in Canada than you will know what to do with. David and I are going to help you sell your residency application so hard!!
All I will ever ask for in return are therapy hours and daily check ins. (Smiling Face With Hearts) I want my kids healthy and happy.

I don't think I'm actually sorry?

Ilya Rozanov: he is hot all the time!
you are all stupid
Shane Hollander: Not helping, Ilya.

but the absolute destruction he would have on this town if he did smh
JJ Boiziau: yes, it is hard to watch him in bar settings
all those disappointed faces
Shane Hollander: What are any of you talking about lol.
This is crazy.
Ilya Rozanov: it took three good photos for you all to see what right in front of our eyes every practice

Ilya:

it can be confusing to people who have not met such perfect person
Rose:
Jesus Christ why am I texting you
Ilya:

Rose:
...
So I had a hypothetical question for you.
Hypothetically.
Ilya:
ok
ah hypothetical
i see
ok
what
Rose:
...
so if I were to invite Shane to the opening night of my play
and I were to suggest he bring friends with him
how likely could it be that you would suggest your close friends come too?
it could um
like be a whole group night
Ilya:
your plan is to invite your exboyfriend to your opening night
Rose:
with friends! It would be a +friends invite!
It's on Thursday and you guys aren't playing, I checked!
Ilya:
ммм
and which friends are close friends exactly
Rose:
Hayden could come! Or JJ!
And you, of course!
Ilya:
...
and which close friends of mine
exactly
Rose:
You and Marlow hang out a lot, right?
And you could invite Svetlana, obvi. And. Um. Wyatt?
Ilya:
i see
and why am i the one inviting svetlana?
Rose:
Well it would be weird if Shane did! They don't hang out!
Ilya:
:]
ммммм
Rose:
I just thought it would be fun if everyone came! Nbd haha!
Ilya:
yes.
no big deal.
tell me miss no-big-deal
why you not just ask sveta in the class you have together?
or is it two?
Rose:
Oh, well. It's not like we sit together every time!
And um. It would be kind of weird, right?
It would be weird I think.
Ilya:
it would be weird
i see
and you have not hang out on own before
Rose:
i mean
we did like um
once or twice
Ilya:
twice?
Rose:

JJ Boiziau: if only I could too
cat cry gif
Hayden Pike: Shut up JJ
We need to hang out more, Hollander I never see you outside of the rink :(

Shane Hollander: Two things can be true. :\
Hayden Pike: I promise to have a normal one in spring. (Tired Face)
These hours are hell.

Notes:

Shane braving the smoking area and Russian vodka for this kid. Smh. Was it worth it, Shane? (probably)

Can't wait to discover the eight things I did wrong with this new snap format... :P Worth it.
For my next trick, I will attempt to add tap-out snaps! But not right now bc just this took all weekend to make. For now, I sleep.

Inspired by this Snapchat Skin by Azdaema Codes (Azdaema) (I reworked it almost entirely to fit the css code format I've been using already... which made it worse, honestly.)

What is it, honey? Thank you for reaching out!
Ilya:
your son is act foolish
how do i get him to stop drinking
Yuna:
He's drinking??
How long has this been going on?
I'll call him
Ilya:
wait no!
not like that
Yuna:
How, then?
Ilya:
he think i not spend time with him if he not fun
but he always fun
he could just ask me stay
but i do not think he believes me when i say this
Yuna:
Oh. I see.
That's more like the Shane I know.
Ilya:
yes
i want him comfortable but i think he still shy
i tell him - you are not too much, Shane. you are ok, Shane.
is hard on heart to not be believed
Yuna:
Oh, Ilya.
Everyone goes through this with him in one way or another.
If you are willing to be patient, he will get there, I promise you.
Ilya:
is there no way to go fast? is a bit lonely to wait.
i know he get there
but it makes me - i don't know word for not steady
Yuna:
Unsure, maybe.
Ilya:
ok, that.
Yuna:
We can do more family things with you on the weekends. That may help.
But he has been quiet around us lately, too.
Sometimes he has to retreat a bit before making big choices. It might just be something he's working up to sharing.
Ilya:
yuna. i really hope you are right.
that would be huge i think. for him and me
Yuna:
Then we will hope I am!
My mom-sense is rarely wrong. (Smiling Face With Sunglasses)

Jackie Summers

Svetlana Vetrova
Ilya will hate this.
Jackie Summers
They're on the same team??
Svetlana Vetrova
They are competing for most goals
Ilya was already behind
Jackie Summers
nooooooo
agony
we are tied again
This game is brutal
Uph. Okay. Hayden gets a pass from me. He's been punished enough.
First period over: 1-1.
Sveta is white knuckling the seat in front of her
Svetlana Vetrova
I need to go outside and breathe
And talk to coach
What is this
I have seen them be better than this
Jackie Summers
They're doing well, but Detroit is playing so physical this is crazy.
I don't know what their deal is
19:42 Svetlana Vetrova
Their deal is new coach
Last one had to leave early in scandal
Big drama. Then star player was injured before game 1
They playing like they have to fight to be here
Ottawa does not do this yet
Rose Landry
Scandal?? I come back just in time.

Arrested for battery
Out on bail, I think

Yes very much boo
May his wife get whole house in settlement

Svetlana Vetrova
If it makes you feel better the star player injury was funny
He fell... while roller blading.
Jackie Summers
No!!
Svetlana Vetrova
yes.
Rose Landry
The absolute dive I did to the dressing rooms to hide my cackle omg
That can't be real!!
Svetlana Vetrova
Sometimes good things really do come true
19:52 Svetlana Vetrova
We are back
Their lines are a mess what is happening
20:11 Jackie Summers
Detroit goal. Oh no.
20:24 Jackie Summers
Almost had it!
20:29 Jackie Summers
Detroit up 3-1
I'm going to cry
They're falling apart
Svetlana Vetrova
No I disagree their plays are better
Sometimes is just luck
Jackie Summers
They're working so hard omg
I can see the sweat from here
20:38 Jackie Summers
Intermission. Score same as before
That waterproof mascara is putting in work tonight
Svetlana Vetrova
She cries so much
I cannot tell if it is about score or about Hayden's bloody lip, though
Jackie Summers
I can multitask!
20:59 Svetlana Vetrova
Here we go.
Jackie Summers
The beginning of the end.
Rose Landry
Don't say that, Jackie!!
Jackie Summers
Sveta has given up on commentary and... started praying? I think?
Rose Landry
About to join her in a minute
Jackie Summers
This is so hard to watch
So many opportunities, and they get blocked every time
The woman behind us keeps yelling at them to "just shoot" like... they need an opening first, idiot??
Lol! Sveta just yelled at her to shut up. Best night.
Worst night. Oh god.
Rose Landry
What's happening??
Jackie Summers
Their wing just bowled over the goalie
Rose Landry
Which??
Jackie Summers
Wyatt. Fuck. He's not getting up.
Rose Landry
Fuck.
Jackie Summers
No, wait!
He's up!!! Just winded.
Switching him out. Skated out on his own. Thumbs up to crowd.
Rose Landry
Oh thank you every holy thing
You SCARED ME Jackie! :{
Jackie Summers
sorry.
Damn, Roz is gonna fight just look at him
Svetlana Vetrova
It what he does
I tell him that not his job but does he listen??
Jackie Summers
Aaaand there he goes
jesus
oh good lord
ok no
finally a good ref call
that's a lot of blood
Svetlana Vetrova
Faces do that, do not worry.
He will be fine.
Jackie Summers
You look a little to pale for me to believe that
Rose Landry
JACKIE.
WHOSE. BLOOD.
Jackie Summers
Oh. Sorry. Both.
Roz knocked a tooth I think.
The other guy somehow slashed at his chin?
Svetlana Vetrova
Stick, I think. Before the first punch.
Rose Landry
(Fearful Face )
Svetlana Vetrova
Welcome to the stress of befriending this stupid stupid man.
Rose Landry
How does Shane look?
Svetlana Vetrova
Calm, actually.
Ilya said something to him as he walked out.
Rose Landry
Ok.
If Shane is calm, I am calm.
Jackie Summers
Ooh, another goal on our side!
Go Shane!!
Svetlana Vetrova
Detroit will not get another point tonight.
They will still win, but by narrow margin.
Rose Landry
I'll take it!
Jackie Summers
On more last second save! Go Tommy!!
Svetlana Vetrova
They did well. Next game will be win, I think.
Rose Landry
I know we lost, but somehow this was more fun than usual?
I need to you two to commentate every game for me. :P
Svetlana Vetrova
Yes. Jackie is the passion to my science. She makes me fall in love with the game again, maybe.
Jackie Summers
And Sveta is good at explaining what on earth is going on! (Flushed Face)
Svetlana Vetrova
How dare you. I take it all back. (Pouting Face)

Rose(Rose)(Artist Palette)

Sat 7:58 PM
Rose: would Roz be mad if I asked you to grab lunch on Sunday?
Shane: Why would he be mad about that?
...
Do you think he would be mad about that?
Why would you think that??
Rose: Oh, Shane.
I would love to talk about the ins and outs of your not-relationship thing
But also I need to talk about mine (Dizzy Face)
If it even is one??? Idk I need help.
Please. I beg.
Tell him he can meet us at the end or smth if you have to
Shane: You're seeing someone?? :D Amazing!
Idk why you think he'd be weird about us eating together.
You guys literally hang out without me now!
And it's not a "thing."
We're friends.
Rose: Oh yeah suuuuure babes. You're "friends" Mhm.
He literally still calls me "Shane's exgirlfriend"
I promise you he will be weird.
Shane: This is stupid.
Rose: Just text him and ask.
Shane: You do it.
Rose: It's not my not-relationship!!
Shane: Ffs.


(Sparkles) ilya was here (Sparkles)

Sat 8:12 PM
Shane: Hey.
Wait.
What is this.
What did you do?
Ilya: Who, me?
I did nothing.
So suspicious, Shane.
Shane: Smh.
Ilya: What you need?
Shane: Oh right. Um.
Will you be weird if I grab lunch with Rose on Sunday.
Ilya: i have never been weird ever in my life
Shane: I told her that! She's the one being weird, clearly.
Ilya: Yes
...
why your exgirlfriend want to grab lunch?
you going to be on-again dating?
Shane: It's just lunch!
She needs advice.
Ilya: is advice how to convince you to be together again?
tell her i give advice
i text her
Shane: NO good grief.
Why are you like this.
I am not interested in Rose.
I am not compatible with Rose.
I TOLD. YOU. THIS.
And you KNOW WHY.
Ilya: maybe i forget
smirk dog meme
Shane: SHUT UP.
GO AWAY.
Ilya: ((
Shanechka

Mom

Sun 10:33 AM
Mom: Happy Sunday, honey bunny!
Shane: Hi Mom. :)
Mom: My check-in update this week is that your father is experimenting with baked beans.
We are swimming in baked beans.
Do any of your friends want baked beans?
Shane: Haha, probably!
I'll ask.
Mom: Thank you! (Smiling Face)
How have you been?
Shane: Good. Just studying, hockey, etc.
You know the drill.
Mom: How are all your friends? Is Nick keeping up with his coursework?
Shane: Barely! XD
Everyone's good. I mean, we're all just trying to get as much done as possible before travel week. I feel that most of them could be doing more right now, but idk.
Roz says it's something to do on the bus, but that just makes me queasy to think about.
Mom: Haha! Yeah, not for me either. Buses are for napping and music.
How's Ilya doing lately? Any better?
Shane: I think so? He's been very chatty.
Mom: That's good to hear.
Shane: Yeah.
He's great.
Um. You like him, right?
Mom: Of course, honey! He's a sweetheart!
I'm glad he's on your team though; that kid might be a teddy bear off the rink, but he's a grizzly on it.
Shane: Yeah haha. It's pretty intense.
It's, um.
Do you like him like you like JJ? Or more like Rose?
Mom: That's an interesting question.
I love all the friends who treat you well; you know that.
Shane: Yeah.
Mom: But hmm.
I suppose JJ is more connected to your Dad. I know they talk quite a bit.
But he is always very respectful and sweet to me! He's a good one. :)
And Rose calls me for advice. We always end up having pretty deep conversations. Talking with her reminds me a lot of what I was like at your age. It's nice.
Maybe it's a bit of both, with Ilya.
He is very sweet like JJ and a bit reserved. But he'll talk with me the way Rose will. He texts me to ask for advice sometimes too, or if he wants a 'mom perspective'.
Shane: I didn't realize that.
Mom: I think he's still a little awkward about it, considering how it started. But I'm glad he's opening up to it a bit.
Your dad has so much trouble with him still!
It takes like twenty minutes for that kid to remember there are words other than "yes, sir" "no, sir."
Shane: Well. That sucks.
Mom: Mmn
It's just where they're at right now, though.
Things take time.
I don't think there have been many men like David in Ilya's life.
Shane: I can believe that.
Dad's pretty great.
Mom: He very much is. :)

Rose(Rose)(Artist Palette)

Sun 1:17 PM
Rose: That was so weird.
Shane: What was?
Rose: That whole time they were there
just in the corner chatting
like they didn't see us
Shane:
Maybe they didn't? Rose:
Shane be fr right now
They SO saw us
Ilya knew we were going to have lunch!!
Why didn't they come over??
Shane:
Maybe they wanted to give us privacy?
Rose:
I can't believe you right now
You are trying to tell me that your not-something KNEW we were having lunch
and invited MY not-something to eat in the SAME PLACE
at the SAME TIME
and then said NOTHING???
AT ALL???
Shane:
Everyone needs to eat lunch, Rose.
And he's not a not-something.
Rose:
So he's something then??
Shane:
:|
no
stop
go away
bye
Rose:

Liked by heyitshayden and 76 others jackiejoyful I keep pinching myself. How is this life right now? But I know how. It's you. For every setback, you bounce back stronger. I didn't know how to be proud of someone the way I'm proud of you. Go #ottawacentaurs!! Go Hayden, go!!

(Sparkles) ilya was here (Sparkles)

Sun 6:48 PM
Shane: Want to grab takeout tonight?
Ilya: marly invited me out
Shane: Oh.
Okay.


Rose(Rose)(Artist Palette)

7:01 PM
Shane: Okay, he's being weird.
I believe you.
Rose: THEY BOTH ARE!!
What do we do???
Shane: Idk.
Should I not have asked him?
Rose: No, that definitely would have made it worse.
Shane: Ugh.
Fuck.
Does he really think you and I are dating?
Rose: Shane. I want to be frank with you, but I can't tell if you are ready for frankness.
7:28 PM Shane:
Ok.
Ok be frank.
Do it.
I can take it.
Rose:
You are so dramatic omg you're worse than me.
I will say this in middle school terms: Ilya like-likes you.
Shane:
Lol shut up
Rose:
Pay attention! That boy is crushing on you and you are leading him on!!
Shane:
I am not.
Rose:
You are too!
He follows you around like a puppy! He moons over you! I have seen it with my two eyes! It might be all stiff and looming or whatever but it's there!
And what have you been doing???
Inviting him over all the time!
Spending every waking minute talking to him or texting him or skating next to him!!
LETTING HIM BUY YOU FOOD!
Don't even get me started on the aquarium thing.
Shane:
We're friends.
Rose:
BUT YOU KNOW HE LIKES YOU
and you're STILL DOING IT
you don't have to date him obvi, but like. Give the man something!! A sign!! Anything!!
Shane:
No you don't understand Rose
I like
um
did
kind of?
Rose:
What the hell does that mean. (Tired Face)
Shane:
It's like
this thing that we are not talking about
Rose:
Dude what
Shane:
When you and I broke up
or maybe kind of before that
I um
said it was because of incompatibility?
And he. Knew what that meant. So um.
We agreed to not talk about it.
Rose:
It being the fact that you are the "g word" I am also not supposed to say apparently? Or it being that you like him specifically?
Shane:
I thought both?
Or
I mean I think??
I think both.
Rose:
How sure are we that he thinks both?
Shane:
...
Rose:
SHANE
Shane:
I'm sorry, it's hard to not-say things!
Rose:
THEN SAY THEM GOOD GOD
Shane:
x-x
Rose:
I'm sorry
no you're right
I'm sorry
If you're not ready, you're not ready.
Shane:
No I
I know you're right
You can say the word
gay
I'm gay
Rose:
:D
BABE
Shane:
I think, anyways.
Rose:
BABE
I'm so proud of you holy holy holy wow
Shane:
hush lol
okay now your turn
Rose:
wait no
Shane:
Rose :{
Rose:
I'm not though!
I just want to be!
Shane:
What.
Rose:
I just wish I was gay!
I'm like a poser or something.
Shane:
Rose, respectfully
Didn't you sleep with her?
Didn't you literally tell me that today?
Rose:
That's different.
Shane:
Ok?
But you said you were into it??? and like her so much???
Rose:
Yeah but
ughhhh
it's different
Shane:
Okay, it's different.
That's ok.
You and I can want to like girls for different reasons
Rose:
LOL
Shane:
No, seriously. Timeout time.
I want to like girls bc it would be easier. Hockey, life, family, etc.
I want to be normal.
Rose:
You ARE normal
Shane:
Yes, ok. Yes.
I will work on trying to believe that.
But so. Why do you want to like girls?
Rose:
Bc they're perfect, obvi.
They're so easy to get and to get along with.
I feel like it would be so easy to do all the romantic stuff and feel appreciated. Like it all makes sense, you know?
Shane:
Ok.
And you know the sex would be good, right?
Rose:
...
yeah, maybe.
Shane:
Ok. So good romance + good sex.
What am I missing? Friendship?
Rose:
I can be friends with girls!
Shane:
I am now lost.
Rose:
Idk it just feels like it's missing something???
Like a feeling, maybe???
Shane:
Explain.
Rose:
There's none of that love/crush buzz-thing. you know.
like when you stand next to them and your palms sweat and you sort of feel shaky? Like you need to sprint or something? Or you get all electric when you're holding their hand and like you're maybe trying not to throw up? That really nervy buzzy adrenaline feeling.
Shane:
I was with you for the first half but now I am. Not.
Crushes make you want to throw up? And. Run??
Rose:
Well when you put it like that it sounds bad.
Shane:
And it's different with Svetlana?
Rose:
Idk Sveta just makes me feel shy and like um. Comfy. Safe. Warm, maybe.
Not like nervy more like. Bubbly? I guess?
Shane:
Rose. Come ON.
Rose:
Whatttt
Shane:
You like her. You like her so much.
Rose:
I told you this.
Shane:
You should move in with her, maybe. Tomorrow. That's what girls do, right? And also maybe talk to a therapist or at least my mom.
Rose:
"That's what girls do" smh
Oh and Shane Hollander, king of taking his sweet emotional time, recommends I talk to a therapist or his mother. Mkay.
Shane:
I just like to be sure of myself! :[
And hey, maybe if even I'm seeing it, you should listen!!
Rose:
Hmph
You're not supposed to take my insults, dummy.
You are very insightful, for the record. I was just being mean.
Shane:
Ok, then listen to me!!
Rose:
Double hmph.
I will THINK about it.
ONLY think.
Shane:
A reasonable start.
Maybe think about it while making out with her though, that may help.
Rose:
Shane Hollander WHO ARE YOU
Where did my polite friend go what is this
Shane:
I guess gloves are off
Rose:
This is so exciting
A whole new world
Shane:
Yeah.
So.
Shit.
What do I do about this.
Rose:
You go tell Ilya what you told me, dummy!
Shane:
He's already talking to my mom and a therapist, though?
Rose:
NO
THAT
YOU'RE
GAY
Shaneeeeeeee
Come onnnnnn
Shane:
Oh yeah.
But he knows that, doesn't he?
I think?
Rose:
SAY IT WITH WORDS
He's a hockey player, not a mind reader!!!
And while you're at it, maybe YOU could do the making out?
I feel it would help tbh.
Shane:
Smh.
Goodbye, Rose.
Rose:
Go get 'em, tiger.

мне ни в коем случае не следовало тебя слушать (i should have never listened to you)

Svetta:
Почему? Что случилось? (Why? What happened?)

Ilya:
они не планировали снова начинать отношения (they were not getting back together)
они, вероятно, просто говорили о нас (they were just talking about us, probably)

Svetta:
Подождите, это правда? (Wait, truly?)
Он тебе что-нибудь сказал? (Did he say something to you?)

Ilya:
спустя некоторое время, он кое-что сказал (eventually some things)
В основном мы мало разговаривали. (mostly we did not talk very much)
))))))))

Svetta:
Илюшка!!! (Ilyushka!!!)
Не могу поверить. (I can't believe it.)

Ilya:
технически, вы ничему не верите (technically, you believe nothing)
ты ничего не говоришь (you say nothing)
кроме той девушки, которую ты расстраиваешь (except to the girl you are making sad)
скажи ей: «Ты мне очень нравишься, прости, что я такая неуверенная в себе женщина» (say to her "I like you so much, sorry for being such an insecure woman.")
что-то вроде этого (something like that)

Svetta:
Оставь меня в покое. (Leave me alone.)
Я ничего не скажу. (I will say nothing.)

Ilya:
это хорошо для меня и Шейна, но плохо для роуз (that is good for me and Shane but bad for rose)

Svetta:
Если вы понимаете, о чем я! (You know what I mean!)
Я рада, что у вас двоих всё складывается хорошо, но не знаю, как обстоят дела с Роуз. (I'm glad it's working out for you two, but I don't know if it's the same with Rose.)
Мне совершенно непонятно, чего она хочет (She's very unclear about what she wants.)
Я не хочу заставлять её делать то, что её огорчит. (I don't want to push her into something that makes her sad.)

Ilya:
просто спроси её. (just ask her)

Svetta:
Всё не так просто!! (It's not that simple!!)
Вам следует это знать. (You should know this.)
Мне нужен план. (I need a plan.)

Ilya:
удачи тебе с этим. (good luck with that)
он просыпается (he's waking up)
пока (bye)

Вы мне ничем не помогли. ((( (You are no help at all. ((()

Life from the bus: a personal look from the road with the Ottawa Centaurs

If you didn't know about Ottawa's hockey team before, you definitely do these days... that or you need to leave the dorm more often!

Selena Messy, Hockey
Published: 6:15 PM, 19 Oct | Edited: 7:43 PM, 19 Oct

Everywhere you go, the faces of our newly-formed superstars stare back: from the banners on the campus quad, to a whole host of advertisements at the local dives featuring the faces of our favorite team (and word on the street is they won't just be "local" adverts for long).

For the players, this culture shock has been huge - especially for senior captain Andrew Becker, who has seen the team go from barely-alive to threatening even the best of the college league.

"It's actually crazy," he tells me after the last home game, sweat still pouring down his neck; "these are kinds of days I had to tell myself weren't for me, and now we're living them! I'm holding on with both hands."

Outside of Ottawa, though, there's a different storm brewing. While our campus fans print out photos of baby-faced cuties like Nick Chouinard and Hayden Pike for the dorm bulletin boards (or brave campus with an "I <3 Hollander" shirt), to the other campus communities the Centaurs are a four-footed threat.

Nothing will ever sound quite like the New York stadium in those final moments of the second win this weekend, as the NY crowd reckoned with that last-minute overtime goal off of Ilya Rozanov's stick. They were distraught. They were a little feral with it. The boos were a volume unheard of before.

My soft-hearted sports enthusiasts should never fear, however: our team loves it. I mean really loves it. They're taking on the villain role with little encouragement needed, and it's fueling their wins. At the very least, it's fueling Ilya Rozanov, whose former reputation as an in-your-face character is proving to be the act he plays here too... or maybe it's just a personality trait. His team seems to think so.

"He's just an a******," says Shane Hollander, "Rozzy's" more mild-mannered counterpart and a rival for the position of star center (where Rozanov is fire, Hollander is all ice - more on that next week); "he's always going to be an a******, but he's one of the best players out there probably, so I have to let that go."

Read More...

Whether pageantry or personality - whatever Rozanov is rocking, it's working. He's loud everywhere: mocking his opponents, and dramatically praising teammates (from the wings, I've heard the words "I love you" more than maybe any event before - and that includes my middle-school sleepovers). That kind of positivity and competitive edge is the right mix for these guys. The team has gelled like nothing else, and this month's road games are beginning to prove that it's more than a moment - this group has staying power.

"I was worried, initially," says Becker, "I didn't know what was going to become of the team after (the seniors) left. But it's clear we've got a good situation going right now, so I think we've got a shot this season and for a few more to come. If the guys here now aren't scouted, I guess. But if Roz stays, I can see him being captain next, or Hollander, honestly. It's a toss up. Sometimes it feels like I'm not even here anymore, I don't know man (sic). But I don't care who does what because if we're winning, we're winning. We're getting something right."

He's not wrong. WOW are we winning!

Soon, I'll be able to share more about individual players and bring you exclusive windows into their personalities, superstitions, and travel routines! But for now, the guys are headed for Florida, and it's time to face the heat (and maybe ice out some competition). It's a season that's shaping up to be once-in-a-lifetime, and for reasons that can only be explained through a very supportive language arts administration, you (and I!!!) will be right along with them. Go Centaurs go! And thanks Professor Nelson!

Svetlana Vetrova

Mon 9:21 AM

Svetlana:
What is wrong with your friend?

Shane:
Um, what?
Hey Svetlana.
What's wrong with Rose? Did something happen?

Svetlana:
Cat Stare Meme
So annoying.
Hello Shane, how are you Shane, blah blah blah.
I have problem.
Fix please.
She is so weird this week.

Shane:
(Face With Stuck-Out Tongue) Lol
How is she weird?

Svetlana:
She keep inviting me to things.
And spending time.
And smiling.

Shane:
Is that not normal Rose?

Svetlana:
Yes.
Is very normal Rose.
Is too normal.
Something is wrong.

Shane:
._.
I mean.
That's how she always is with me, so idk what you're seeing that's different.

Svetlana:
She has always been different to me, though? You not notice this?
She is so aloof. It is nice.
Treats everyone so sweet and then all shy and stiff with me. Very cute.
But now she is nice and makes eye contact???

Shane:
Maybe she's warming up to you?
You know after the... everything between you two?
How much do you know I know lol?

Svetlana:
Probably we both know too much about one another.
We talking to very social people, you and I.

Shane:
...
Yep.

Svetlana:
I tell no one.
You do not need to stress out, ok?

Shane:
Okay.

Svetlana:
Ilyushka is good about it. Probably more stress than you, you know. Because Russia.

Shane:
Yeah. That's fair.

Svetlana:
But I do not care about you two. I care about ME.
And Rose. Who is weird.
Help.
Ilya is useless with this.
You are maybe normal enough to have an idea.

Shane:
Rose seems to be having trouble figuring herself out when it comes to you.
Maybe just meet her where she's at right now?
If she's acting extra friendly maybe just... accept it?

Svetlana:
Accept? Really?

Shane:
In the short term.
If she's just opening up to you, then it just means she's working things out. Which is good for you, I think? Probably?
And if she's trying to get a reaction out of you, she'll get mad pretty quickly and then you'll get ranted at and know what's wrong.
She's a fundamentally impatient person.

Svetlana:
xD
Shane Hollander you are now my second favorite.
Ilyushka is demoted.
Tell him so if you like.
You are far more helpful.

Shane:
He's more fun. I promise I won't last at the top.

Svetlana:
Heh.
This is so very true.
But there is hope for your fun-ness, at least.
Let him rub off on you, will help.

Shane:
Ew.

Svetlana:
Is that not how that phrase goes? xD

Shane:
Oh um. No it's just.
Context I guess is different.
Or maybe I have a dirty mind (Dizzy Face)

Svetlana:
Ah so his rubbing off is helping.
Nice.
I approve this.
Carry on.

Shane:
X[
Goodbye Svetlana.
I'm not talking to you now.

Svetlana:
Laughing Cat Gif
Talk to you next time Shane.
We do this again soon.

Shane:
Oh no.

Svetlana:
(Smiling Face With Horn)

Notes:

I am slowly getting the hang of satire articles. We are not nearly there yet, but we are improving. 😂 (The read more is slightly less awful this time.)
My only goal writing lately is just to make myself laugh. It's working. :P

Chapter 23: Ilya POV

Notes:

About Tap-To-View Snaps:

this chapter uses the magical css technology called "hover" which means the pop-out closes immediately once you press or hover your mouse outside the box. If you need to scroll up to see the image better, keep your mouse/finger scroll within the image so it doesn't auto-close on you. :)

I hear and obeyOoooooh

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Notes:

Major thank you to mackerel_cheese for this phenomenally helpful text-hover tutorial with which I was able to finally recreate Azdaema's Snapchat Skin Tap-To-View snaps in a way that lets them stay a while!

(Thank you for helping my tired, confused brain. I had given this up as an impossible dream, and it was actually quite simple with your method!)

Also thank you RaccoonDoom for Work Skin for Computer Pop-ups, Command Prompt, Bluescreen, etc Very useful! Very fun!

A bonus for those who are now left wanting more...

I had the idea of maybe sharing some small fan-folk who could use some love. What do you think?

Hockey, Hanes, and Heart-To-Hearts: a long walk on the beach with Cliff Marlow

Holding this year's record for most assists to goal, Marlow knows he's on fire: but is the heat too much to handle?

Selena Messy, Hockey
Published: 11:35 AM, 23 Oct

I've been told numerous times to be careful around Cliff Marlow. In the last few days, he's received endless ribbing from teammates and coaches alike, warning me off the Centaurs' most notorious player... and I don't mean on the ice! Some tell it like a joke, but others are far more serious. The point stays the same; romantics be on guard! This forward might have good chirps and better hands, but he's only in love with one thing: the rink.

"I go on the off-season," he admits, "I go do some laps on our days off. There's no point getting out of bed if I'm not heading out to the ice. I guess I'm going to have to coach after this because I don't know what I'd do without it. It's that feeling, you know? The air hits you and you just know. This is where I'm meant to be."

It's a love affair that's paid off. Marlow's got a long history of steady seasons and heavy trophies. But the big ones continue to elude him. His junior world's team resulted in runner-up medals twice, and his NHL dreams were put on the back burner when the timing fell through.

"I just had s*** luck," he says, staring out over the Florida coastline on his off-day, sand up to his shins, "Got mono right when I should have been gearing up to try out. Worst three months of my life, if I'm honest. Got dumped, got sick, got way too ****ing good at Smash Bros. Nothing better to do. I felt like I was chewing on my own paw."

What he didn't know at the time was that one delay would change everything for him - personally and professionally.

"I played one more junior worlds," he says, "only nineteen-year-old on my team, actually. And of course we placed second again to rub some salt in the wound. [he pauses to laugh] But I met Roz that year, and man it was like - oh - oh, finally. Here's someone who's actually as nuts about this game as I am. Here's someone who gets it."

The two began to message each other incessantly - first about the sport, and then about anything, everything. Marlow had made a friend. From his perspective, maybe one of the most important of his life.

"This sounds dumb," he says with a laugh, "but I was in a real s*** place in my life. I'd put all my eggs in the NHL basket and it was like - what do I do now? Just wait a year? I was waiting tables, spinning my wheels. Bored out of my mind.

"Then I met Roz and it's like - three weeks later, I'm accepted into university - like, more than one, it was so ****ing wild. He just kept calling me - god, those ****ing phone bills, I do not miss that. Just saying, 'get out of the house, man,' 'are you on the ice today?,' are you meeting people?,' that kind of stuff. So I got out of my own head, and back where I belonged. And then he needed a change too and we ended up on the same team; it's the best thing I've ever experienced. I'm so unbelievably lucky right now.

"And he just keeps telling me - it's not too late, or anything like that. I'm 20. It's not over. The dream's not dead, it's just starting. And like... even if I'd made it and everything worked out on the first try, I think I'd still be terrified of the end date, you know? We can't play like this forever. But he keeps reminding me that if you're just loving what you're doing, who you're doing it with - that doesn't end until you do. You just take it wherever you go next."

For Marlow, loving what he's doing means intensity - but it also means play.

"I work hard," he admits, "maybe too hard, sometimes. I'm bad at holding myself back from things, probably. I'm like... it's on or it's off. But then when it's time to quit, I just want to kick back. The guys won't shut up about it, obviously but... yeah. I like clubbing, I like girls. That side of life is fun. I did the 'good boyfriend' shit, and it was not for me. And at the time, when it ended, I was real cut up about it. But I was letting too much of what some chick said to me get to my head, you know? Or like... sorry, I'm not trying to say it like that. She wasn't some chick. But she also was. She was one voice in this world, with some very ****ed perceptions of me. And you know? I got better friends, I started going out more and like... boy was she wrong about me. Turns out I'm actually pretty good with women most of the time."

He turns his thousand-watt-smile my way and... yeah. There's a reason the campus rep is what it is. I don't blame any of you girls. In that moment, I very much got it. Still do, on reflection.

"So tell all your readers hi for me," he says [with a wink], "tell the guys I'll do my d****dest to get us into the playoffs and beyond. Tell the girls... hmmm. I'm not the love of their lives. They're certainly not mine. But I like shitty beer, boxer-briefs, and... I don't know [he looks around us]... long walks on the beach, I guess! And I'll probably be out clubbing most weekends. So if they want to come say hi, I'm happy to say hi back."

Marlow doesn't have a reputation for being the smartest Centaur, or the fastest. He's not acing his classes, or on the face of every goal. But he's in the background of most of them, and he's one of the big reasons our team is doing as well as they are. As heartthrobs go, he probably isn't the dream all the campus cuties are looking for. But you know what? I'll say it. What we knew from the ice remains true now.

The man's good for a chirp. And he's good with his hands.

Tommy Andersson: SEE?? HE'S A MESS!

You're going out tonight with the guys, right?
Text me when and I'll convince him to go walk the beach for an hour + leave the room free.
Moonlight strolls are a classic vacation vibe, you know?

Cliff:
okay I like you again
mostly

Shane:
...
same

Notes:

That half hour back to the hotel must have been hell. 😂

Fun thing for those who are into fun things! Those on mobile can flip their devices sideways and the article image changes format! :O It also looks different on desktop! I feel like a super-mouse hehe!

Mouse has an in-universe scheduling nightmare (crashout)...

Savvy readers will note they played two games against NYC, but are only playing one each for Tampa and Miami. There are like six reasons this makes no sense. I fucked up. I am trying to mash college hockey schedule to NHL schedule bc in real life college hockey is weekends, and you only play close to home (so this nightmare can't happen). But I wanted to keep the canon rotations. So... nothing makes sense. Lol!
Thought about editing all of yesterday's shenanigans to happen on Tuesday, but then realized I still wouldn't have time for four games, driving back, and midterms week before Halloween. Me and Jackie staring at the calendar going ok but how tf does Hayden do all this. 😵

It's always sunny crashout plot map gif

So um. This league is a three-heat-per-team league now (two games and a tiebreaker). Both FL games were tie-breaking games. 🥴 This is the second most AU part of the AU lol. I will leave you to guess the first.

(It's so funny how you guys are like "they put so much thought into this!" And I go "what are they talking about?? I just write as I go!" And then I stare at my hand-drawn highlighted calendar going "but I have no plot plan really, I'm just following the story beats! And the schedule! 🐭🧀 Oh, NonnyMouse. Lol.)

they should send you edit this week
Yuna:
I can send you the links for approval when they do!
Ilya:
i trust you
some of the together poses may be bit much but we see
his solo ones are too hot though
i do not want mama yuna blocking her eyes every time she pass a billboard with her son on it
unsafe driving
Yuna:
(Laughing Face)
You are too funny, kiddo.
I will keep my delicate eyes in mind
Ilya:
why you let him pose without shirt is beyond me
trying to cause accidents
ah hold on boarding bus
Yuna:
No problem!
You kids headed to Miami already?
Ilya:
yes coach want to beat rush hour
they say this highway is very boring we have big plans to nap
i am caught between marly who want to stay up and enjoy all the miami night life and Shanechka who want to see sun rise on the beach
either way i need nap
Yuna:
You know which my vote would be!
Ilya:
sadly yes
my favorite boring family :/
Yuna:
Haha!
Just make good choices, kiddo.
Be mindful of your health for midterms.
Should we anticipate a crash the other side of this?
Ilya:
ah
i hope not
but maybe
probably
Yuna:
Shane has a hard time after bye weeks too, it's normal to need to recuperate, honey.
Come up to the house once you kids are done with exams and whatever Halloween partying you've got planned.
Just eating and light workouts and sitting by the lake, no thinking required.
Have a weekend reset. Or even just commute from here for a couple of days if that helps.
Ilya:
i do not know what i did to deserve this but i am very grateful to you
for everything
Yuna:
One of the hardest lessons I've learned in this life is that we cannot do anything that makes us more or less deserving of love.
Over time, we just meet people who are capable of loving and supporting us, and we embrace it or we don't.
Those who lack the ability to love us well aren't doing so because of some inherent quality in us. It's not that simple.
There is nothing you can do or be to make you worthy of love, Ilya, because it's not about "worth."
It's just a gift we get to keep and share.
It took me a long time to get there, though. I hope it's a bit faster for you.
Ilya:
<3

Notes:

Ilya's sex tour of America is a slightly different version than Marly's. But they aren't bffs for nothing... 🙄

More extras for the bored...

The Hayden Pike App...
by shaneyp1e
is another html texting fic rated T
If you've heard of the Jeremy Rener app, it's that. But Hayden. I laughed so hard I cried.
People deeply stressed by Shane x Hayden or jokes about it, not for you maybe? But it's only speculated as a joke. And worth the laugh.

you didn't see my valentine.
by abby (Youtube Link)
is a sad, smutty, sweet... everything... video fan edit. (I'm trying to make you feel every feeling today, I guess.)
More popular than the other works I have recommended, but I keep replaying it. I think it is a staple. Maybe you will too.

Requisite reminder: Tell no one I sent you. 👀 Just go be lovely to the lovelies! <3

You are such a sap.
Shane Hollander
Very Canadian of you to say that.
Svetlana Vetrova
The Canadian way is grow on me.
Shane Hollander
:)
Remind me to take you and Ilya to a maple barn in March.
I'll show you how little being a sap is a bad thing.
Svetlana Vetrova
Shane Hollander you are so boring how does Ilya stand it.
Shane Hollander
Apparently it's like #3 reason he likes me.
Svetlana Vetrova
What are first two.
Wait. Ew.
They are sex, yes?
Do not tell me. Never mind.

Jackie Summers
Hello and welcome to the most sacred of all chats: hockey night chat
I'm your host, Jackie Summers...
..with co-host
(Microphone)
@svetlanavetrova
Waiting Sticker
Svetlana Vetrova
:/
Jackie Summers
Svetlana Vetrova!
There she is lady and gentlemen!
Rose Landry
Only one lady?
Jackie Summers
You're the only other girl left in chat.
Rose Landry
I want to be a guest host again smh :(
Jackie Summers
No!! We need an audience
Rose Landry
boooo
Svetlana Vetrova
But you are such good audience, Roses.
We need these good reactions to know we do good job.
You are pivotal.
Rose Landry
I'm literally next to you guys rn why do I need to react in chat too
Svetlana Vetrova
We need both
Be audience in chat and out loud
laugh
cry
squeak even
you are good at these things
;)
then tell to chat
Hayden Pike
I can't believe you guys are still doing this
Jackie Summers
I can't believe you're distracting yourself from game prep by checking chat @haydenpike
Hayden Pike
I see my gf in the notifs, I must check at once
It's simple math
Jackie Muted Hayden Pike
Jackie Summers
Go away and listen to your music
Now, Sveta. To recap.
Svetlana Vetrova
?
Jackie Summers
Third game vs Miami
We won 1, they won 1
How much does this game matter?
Svetlana Vetrova
ah
well
not so much
Jackie Summers
Wait, really?
Svetlana Vetrova
It does and does not
For school pride, it is good to break tie, but to get to playoff rotation it is not a big thing
Hockey is points that matter before the conference, not wins
Jackie Summers
Okay yes. I did know this
Rose Landry
I completely believe you. But let's pretend I don't for a minute.
Jackie Summers
Yes, Rose doesn't know. Tell her.
Rose Landry
lol
Svetlana Vetrova
Ok so you know that big number on school website that keeps getting better when we win?
Jackie Summers
Yes. I did see that.
Svetlana Vetrova
Yes so that is what matter for playoffs.
It is over halfway through season but we have already many regulation wins
We are slotted to be in top three maybe even if we have very bad season rest of time
But one more point at this game can make us very sure we make it to playoffs
Based on averages and other teams doing badly already
Rose Landry
So we just need to make sure we win in overtime?
Svetlana Vetrova
Not even that much. We can tie up and lose in overtime. It still give one point in college league.
Rose Landry
Oh wow.
Svetlana Vetrova
Yes, so only thing not good to do today is lose in third period.
But even if we do, there will be other opportunity to close the gap.
We are doing very well this year. The coach may even say this game to not stress and be smart.
But on game that is tie-breaking the college pride may say to beat the other school. So we will see which the boys pick.
Rose Landry
College pride for the win!!!
Jackie Summers
But also be smart and don't screw the rest of the season!
Svetlana Vetrova
Angel and devil on shoulder.
Rose Landry
(Smiling Face With Horns)
3:17 PM
Rose Landry
oh wow. I can see which one Ilya is picking.
Jackie Summers
Penalty box is fair.
Don't tell him I said that.
Rose Landry
This is a chat with him in it? I don't know how we enforce that.
Ugh Miami up 1.
Jackie Summers
Not even six minutes in. (Fearful Face) This is rough.
Svetlana Vetrova
Still hours to go, be calm Jackie.
Rose Landry
I don't know how you can watch Hayden fall like that and still find the energy to be mad at him about anything tbh. It's an art.
Svetlana Vetrova
I don't know how you can watch him fall like that and find the energy to be attracted to him
that is bigger mystery
so poor awareness
Jackie Summers
Sigh Sticker
Rose Landry
Ilya's out!!
And already begging for another penalty what is this lol
Svetlana Vetrova
He is riling other team up look at him )))
that is our boy
make them mad
ah, and there they go
Miami penalty now
Jackie Summers
And now Shane's rotating in
And there's the score!
Svetlana Vetrova
It like they planned it before
Jackie Summers
Shane wouldn't go for a strat like that, would he?
Rose Landry
no
Svetlana Vetrova
Maybe not, but Ilya would do it anyway
Jackie Summers
XD true
Tied into the first intermission
Rose Landry
It still weirds me out that hockey calls it intermission like theater
Are they going to add curtain calls next?
Svetlana Vetrova
It because hockey is dignified sport unlike some (Eyes)
Jackie Summers
The pro league literally has people bashing each other's teeth out left and right girl what do you mean dignified
Svetlana Vetrova
Yes and then all shake hands!
Civilized game
not like these other kind with balls
pah no good
Rose Landry
I love your opinions
Svetlana Vetrova
That is because they are right
JJ Boiziau: I need you girls to know you are becoming famous in the locker room
Shane reads these chats out loud lol
Rose Landry
Wait, really? XD
Svetlana Vetrova
I need to give better advice then
Tell coach listen to me!
Rotate out goalies more, use his alternates!
They are untapped potential!
Defense line is weak and refuse to get stronger
Bag skates for all and until they improve give goalies a breath
They burn out because they do job of three men
JJ???
@jjboiziau
do you hear me
JJ Boiziau: haha sorry got 2 go now
Svetlana Vetrova
>:[
Rose Landry
You'll get 'em next time, Sveta.
Svetlana Vetrova
I am right
I will tell Ilya this later
I will be heard
Rose Landry
Mhm okay
Svetlana Vetrova
None of your sass, Miss
Jackie Summers
We're back!
Eyes sharp, ladies.
Svetlana Vetrova
Yes, good. This is what I want to see
Find an opening!!
No!! LOOK FIRST!
Rose Landry
Svetlana.exe is rebooting
Good changeover, at least?
Jackie Summers
Yep. And there's the second Miami goal.
Oh wow, this is rough.
Wtf was that? XD
Rose Landry
Pileup: aisle, the goal
of course Ilya is in the sin bin again (Face With Tears Of Joy)
What is this, time five?
Jackie Summers
Only two? three?
Rose Landry
"only" uh huh
Jackie Summers
Watching Svetlana chug an entire IPA to reset was not on my bingo card tonight
Rose Landry
I guess I'm driving us all back now lol
Svetlana Vetrova
I cannot take this sober
It is too difficult
They make every error I tell Ilya about three week ago
it like they mock me to my face
even he
what was that?
why are we hooking at such a dumb time?
there is time for penalty to be worth time cost
this is not that time
Rose Landry
Aaaaand there's another one.
And intermission.
Jackie Summers
3-1 is not how I want this game to be going.
Svetlana Vetrova
@shanehollander tell your team to get it together
Rose Landry
He's not actually the captain, you know that right, Sveta?
Svetlana Vetrova
Yes but he logic in room
Team needs logic tonight
It seem they leave BRAINS ON BEACH
Rose Landry
okay, hun
maybe go take a walk for a min
Svetlana Vetrova
(Angry Face)
Jackie Summers
Oooph, you got "hun"ed. The shame.
Lol I wish the rest of chat could see this.
Never heard Rose speak more Midwest than in this moment.
So polite yet so brutal.
4:42 PM
Svetlana Vetrova
Hello I am return
I am calm
I am cool I am collected
Team, you are doing fine
You can bring it back
If not this game, then next
Jackie Summers
Already writing them off lol.
Svetlana Vetrova
I am curbing expections
Rose Landry
*expectations
Svetlana Vetrova
I will put you in corner I swear Roses
do not test me
Rose Landry
(Smiling Face With Horns)
Svetlana Vetrova

Jackie Summers
Okay no this is good, they're coming in hot.
Svetlana Vetrova
No they need control!
Jackie Summers
But Miami is flagging, look Svetlana!
Give it a chance!
...
dfhgfdjkfd
FOCUS UP.
LOCK IN
Svetlana Vetrova
They are killing me
Jackie Summers

Rose Landry
Still ten on the clock, hold on!!!
Jackie Summers

If you see any errors in the original group-chat speech bubbles, let me know! I'm testing a new coding style behind-the-scenes (for a tutorial+code that should be out this weekend), but that means it may go goofy on us. :/

The Many Things Right With Shane Hollander

ВСК: Sunday (abbr.) 6:17
JJ Boiziau: bus is stopping by Mcdonald's
it's in a plaza with a grocery if you want to grab something else

Ilya Rozanov is coffee?
JJ Boiziau: looks like there's something called a "Bunny Brew"
Ilya Rozanov i will be rabbit if have to be
ferret even

Hayden Pike responded (Face With Tears Of Joy)


jj

ВСК: Sunday (abbr.) 6:25 JJ: Shane ok?
Ilya: да just needing quiet day
can you grab him lunch things from grocery
salad and salmon maybe?
plain bagel. bag of mini if they have them
JJ: oh yeah one of these days
no problem
I'll see if I can find him some ginger ale to throw in the cooler
Ilya: spasibo jj
JJ: yeah man
Ilya: what color rabbit you want
JJ: what the fuck does that mean
Ilya: they have five colors of rabbit to pick for milk
bunnies by color img
JJ: crying wtf is that
america is crazy
um
middle rabbit
Ilya: ok
you sure you do not want marshmallow syrup
JJ: (Skull And Crossbones )
yes
Ilya: your loss
i am coffee like a smore today
camping in bus style
JJ: glamping
glam + camping
Ilya: haha i like
exactly this
do you think coach let me steal some cooler ice if i buy an extra coffee for later
JJ: bro two??
Ilya: jj have you look at clock
i am in hell
i either sleep, suffer, or caffeine
JJ: fair
6:44
Ilya: how long you know Shane?
JJ: since grade 8, why?
Ilya: you know some things i do to make him more comfortable today?
JJ: mostly leave him alone and make sure he has snacks
he doesn't always like being touched
idk um
ww.autismand.me/practical/supporting-autistic-shutdown...
maybe this will have ideas?
Ilya: ah
ммм
thank you
JJ: yeah



Yuna Hollander

ВСК: Sunday (abbr.) 7:12 Ilya: mama yuna
i have question
Yuna: Good morning, Honey!
Go for it. :)
Ilya: you know how we have therapist for me with nda
so league does not get in way
or if there is leak this kind of thing
Yuna: Yes?
Ilya: is this same for Shane or are we not talk about it at all
is he not comfortable with this
Yuna: Ah.
Well, it's the same and different.
We've looked into support structures a few times, but his current perspective is that the accommodations have not been worth the risks.
The goal is still the NHL draft at the end of the day, and I think he worries the odds are stacked against him.
I could see him looking into formal therapy on the other side of that, when it can't be a risk to his career.
Ilya: this is sad, yuna
Yuna: Yes, well.
It's all baby steps.
That my kiddo has a shot at this profession with our heritage is its own kind of win. Every mountain he climbs is one more that the kids after him find easier to travel.
And he's not alone in it!
Wherever I can make his life easier, I will.
Ilya: yes
me too
Yuna: <3
You're a good egg, Ilya.
Ilya: that is new phrase
i like it
can i be sunny-side egg?
i learn this one today too
Yuna: haha definitely
our sunny-side egg
happy egg sticker

Ilya Rozanov
oh god

jackie why
Jackie Summers
She's even cooler than me on tumblr (Loudly Crying Face x2)
Tumblr was my thing!
But I don't want to just blindly hate someone for existing
Ilya Rozanov
i do all the time
is joy of life jackie
Jackie Summers
I guess but that seems petty?
Svetlana Vetrova
She seem fine
Just has photographer friend
We should play nice then we have good tumblr page too
Ilya Rozanov
what the fuck is tumblr
Svetlana Vetrova
Not for you
Ilya Rozanov
:[
Rose Landry
Fastest way to get him on the platform, Sevta
Here I'll try
It's a website for girl things
Ilya Rozanov
i like girls
Rose Landry
and fan things
Ilya Rozanov
fans are nice
Rose Landry
and cat pictures
Ilya Rozanov
blech
Rose Landry
done (Smiling Face With Sunglasses)
Jackie Summers
Lol
So okay Ilya is useless
What do the real girls think?
Ilya Rozanov
hey!
Rose Landry
I think she has shown zero interest in Hayden.
So there's that.
Svetlana Vetrova
No but the article Roses!
She called him cute
Jackie Summers
exactly!
Rose Landry
And then she hooked up with Marly, right?
Or am I missing something?
Ilya Rozanov
it so interesting how different boy and girl chats are
Rose Landry
?
How so?
Ilya Rozanov
you all read same words
girls say she is flirting and complement him with cute, yes?
Jackie Summers
yeah
Ilya Rozanov
boys say she is insulting call them baby face like this is taunt
hayden say he is not hurt because at least his girlfriend find him attractive
they are wondering if she is enemy number one or if it should be not big deal
Rose Landry
XD
Jackie Summers
Wait, really?
Ilya Rozanov
да
i think you are ok jackie
but i do not think this looking and judging girl is good
Svetlana Vetrova
Everyone does this shit Roz do not be mean at her insecurities
We all have them
Ilya Rozanov
but this is hayden!
what jackie have to be insecure about him??
she is obviously superior person
has her life together, funny, pretty, on time
he is ok at best
it so stupid to pine after man like this
he is lucky to be in room with you jackie stop this worries
Svetlana Vetrova
Илья: Ilya be more kind to her
Hayden is on good team, with good career prospect
His face is on the campus walls!
He is very uninteresting, yes, but he is kind of campus star
And Jackie is pick this school for him, give up other good schools
Now this girl who is smart and pretty and has friendship with good camera girl gets to go on a trip Jackie cannot go to, being flirty and star-eyed and thinking your dumb friends are superstars when they are not
You tell me, really, you cannot see why she is here being embarrassing to us?
Rose Landry
I don't think that was as supportive as you meant it to be, Sveta.
Jackie Summers
No but also
she kinda nailed it
and like
thank you Ilya but I'm not that big a deal
I'm just a girl. Among thousands of other girls.
Like seriously. What am I?
I'm not smart enough for the honors program, I'm not charismatic enough to be the debate president, or even trustworthy enough to be secretary.
I'm just a girl. (Confounded Face)
Ilya Rozanov
jackie this is such bad thinking
you are following along behind the dumbest man thinking these things???
what, you going to spend your whole life thinking you are small and he is tall?
he is average height at best
you are not jealous of this girl you want to be this girl
go be her
get camera friend get fun campus job go be a star
do not bother loving a person that get in the way of loving yourself
Jackie Summers

Svetlana Vetrova
Илюшка, я знаю, ты стараешься.: Ilyushka I know you are trying.
Но это ничем не помогает.: But this is not helping at all.
Ilya Rozanov
я слишком честен?: am i too honest?
Svetlana Vetrova

Ilya Rozanov
я сдаюсь: i give up
Svetlana Vetrova
Хороший.: Good.
Rose Landry
Jackie ignore him for a min.
Put on your favorite pjs. Svetlana and I are coming with ice cream.
Jackie Summers

Svetlana Vetrova
It will be ok Jackie, I promise.

Ilya Rozanov

Svetlana Vetrova
Она не готова к помощи.: She is not ready to be helped
Уходите.: Go away.
Ilya Rozanov
