Summary

Boyle
ooh i’m shaking
like your legs could even carry you to my place to punch me in the dick at this point

Nicky C
For real
Surely you must be on the floor after 2 straight days with Jane

Cap
Who the fuck do you think I am?
I could do a week straight with Jane and still kick your ass

3 months in the Ottawa Centaurs' group chat.

Notes

before we hit the wags again, i wanted to try my hand at the cens. these boys are a crazy menagerie, but wow i love them

if you're new here, i'd advise reading at least chapter 6 of Ilya R has been added to the group chat just so you've got the timeline. while it's non-canon, it roughly follows the plot of tlg - this takes place between the time that troy comes out to the cens & their first match with montreal post-fanmail vid! not compulsory, but i'd like to think you'll get more out of it <3

this is inspired by the hateful but tinged with love vibe of my hometown group chat

have fun, and please feed the beast that is my ego with comments if you feel so inclined

See the end of the work for more notes

Holmberg has changed the group chat name.

 

Troy

Holmberg

Troy

Can you be reverse hate crimed

 

Nicky C

Idk if we can answer that bro 🤔

 

Boyle

Haasy

That would never hold up in court

 

Evan D

The floor is yours on this one, TB

Article I read said you gotta amplify marginalized voices

📢Boyle

 

Troy

Amplify this:

Your mom

 

Holmberg has changed the group chat name.

Bood

Evan D

Arguably for the best

 

Holmberg

he’s upset because he thought cap would be on his side on this one

 

Cap

Anti-Slavic to suggest that liking pickled food means that I would eat a crime against god 🤢

 

Holmberg

that’s what i said!!

 

Cap

That is why you are my favourite today

 

Haasy

Rude

 

Boyle

@Holmberg kissass

 

Nicky C

I reckon I’d try that sandwich

 

Evan D

And no one was shocked

 

Troy

That is not the praise you think it is @Nicky C

 

Boyle

you’d eat a bus tyre if it had sriracha on it

🚌Holmberg

 

Nicky C

Well fuck me I guess

 

Troy

No thanks

😂Holmberg, Young

 

Evan D

LMAOOOOO

A DEVASTATING BLOW

Evan D

Hear ye, hear ye

 

Boyle

Evan D

I would like us all to agree that on our next roadie

@Nicky C is hereby banned from the aux cord

 

Hazy

Absolutely seconded

💯Boyle

 

Haasy

Please

 

Young

pls

 

Holmberg

Nicky C

Hey!

My music taste is not that bad

 

Bood

👀

Bood

🔘 bergy

🔘 hazy

🔘 evan

🔘 me

🔘 haasy

🔘 cap

🔘 young

🔘 boyle

🔘 troy

 

Evan D

Whoever votes @Holmberg, you don’t value your ears enough

 

Holmberg

stop rigging the election!!!

 

Boyle

a vote for me is a vote for a fair and just mayor who will pretend to listen to your requests before absolutely not playing them

 

Troy

I don’t want this heat, take me out of it

 

Nicky C

Everyone vote @Troy to annoy him

👍Young, Evan D

 

Cap

No votes for Haasy either!

I love you, my son ❤️

But I cannot keep listening to EDM

 

Young

ok grandpa

👴Holmberg

 

Cap

Careful



Haasy

It’s hype music!

 

Boyle

all it hypes me up to do is commit a felony

 

Haasy

You and Nic would do that anyway

 

Nicky C

Good point

 

Young

so fair

 

Boyle

in my defense, she’d 100% be the brains of the operation

 

Troy

That much is obvious

🔥Bood, Evan D, Young

 

Boyle

don't be a cow

withdrawing my application, everyone vote @Troy as punishment

 

Bood

poll for who gets control next

🔘 bergy

🔘 hazy

🔘 evan

🔘 me

🔘 haasy

Boyle

You can’t

Hazy

No seriously

Lisa HATES her

 

Boyle

Cap

The woman is an angel

 

Hazy

I’ll fill you in on Friday

🍿Holmberg, Young

But it involves a very heated debate over X-ray results

 

Bood

Troy

Sorry sorry

Just checking if H can make it

Cool, he’s in

We’ll do cider

 

Nicky C

BOOOOOOO

Stop stealing your man’s shit

💯Evan D

 

Boyle

man you should at least be paying for it at this point

 

Troy

By all means

You try giving Harris’ mom a cent

See how that goes

 

Cap

He is right

She will not take anything

She has looked after Anya a few times for me during the day

Will not even let me pay for the dog food 🙃

 

Haasy

God bless Drover Farm

🙏Bood, Evan D, Boyle, Holmberg

 

Bood

okay, you can do cider again

but i want some creativity next time, barrett

 

Troy

Ugh, fine

I can’t cook for shit, warning you in advance

 

Holmberg

Young

lmaoooooooo

 

Troy

@Holmberg children should be seen and not heard

 

Holmberg

Troy

It’s fucking on

 

Bood

because that would be rude

WOULDN’T IT

 

Cap

No fighting at Boody’s BBQ!!

I will turn this car around

Smack each other with a hockey stick at practise tomorrow

Two hits each and then you are done

 

Holmberg

i’ll only need 1

😂Hazy, Haasy

 

Boyle

Hazy

Someone clearly didn’t watch the game tape before Barrett signed

😬Bood

 

Nicky C

You’re getting your ass handed to you, Bergy

 

Evan D

Damn, and I was just starting to like you

😂Cap, Young

 

Holmberg

Thursday February 23rd, 11.57am

 

Cap

@Holmberg Ice your jaw

 

Evan D

That was actually so tragic to watch

 

Nicky C

I felt like I was watching a nature doc about apex predators

 

Boyle

young’uns, take note

✏️Haasy, Young

barrett’s got his bone density pills and he’s not afraid to use them

 

Haasy

Maybe see if you can get even one hit in next time @Holmberg

😂Evan D

 

Holmberg

Troy

Sorry

 

Bood

😭

 

Haasy

This is about to be fucking bleak

 

Troy

You brought this on yourselves

 

Nicky C

My music isn’t looking so bad now huh??

 

Evan D

👀👀

 

Boyle

wouldn’t go that far

😂Holmberg, Haasy, Hazy, Young

 


 

Fiat 500 Horse Boys 🐎🏒🌈

Sunday March 7th, 9.57pm

 

Nicky C

Non-single men in the chat

Need some advice

 

Boyle

waddup

 

Bood

shoot

 

Cap

Hello?

 

Evan D

Heyooooo

 

Hazy

I’m here

 

Troy

Here

 

Nicky C

So Sel and my mom had a fight

Like, a bad one

 

Evan D

Ah fuck

Bad how?

 

Nicky C

Mom’s been difficult since Christmas

Don’t know if the WAGs mentioned it to any of you, but Sel & Mom had a bit of a bustup at the fake Thanksgiving we did across the border last year

 

Cap

Jane mentioned something

 

Bood

yeah, cass mentioned too

 

Evan D

@Troy for ref, Nick’s parents and sister can be difficult

(Sorry Nicky)

 

Nicky C

Nah, it’s fair

They can be

 

Troy

Got it

So something happened at Thanksgiving?

 

Nicky C

Well, just before

Laurene made a few comments about the support I got from my parents back in the day the last time we all met up

Sel called her out because she’s amazing, but that’s just not the style of my fam

 

Bood

we’ve told you though, brother

laurene’s got a real bug on this one

 

Nicky C

I know

And in truth she was super outta line then

But then it got weird and for Thanksgiving, Laurene made a group chat for the family and didn’t put Selena in it

 

Boyle

that’s fucked

 

Cap

What the fuck, Nicky

 

Nicky C

I know, I know

I brought it up in private with my mom

But of course she had a couple of gin and tonics in her so it didn’t stay private for long

And she ended up confronting Sel a bit

 

Hazy

Confronted like how?

 

Nicky C

Sel did a great job tbf, Mom tried to literally talk about it around the table

 

Bood

shit

 

Nicky C

But Sel got her into the kitchen so they could talk it through

 

Boyle

why was laurene not involved man

not to be a dick because it’s your sister

but kinda sounds like this is her fault

 

Nicky C

She’s Mom’s baby

Not that she would ever recognize it

 

Cap

What happened at Christmas?

I thought you were with Selena’s family, yes?

 

Nicky C

Yeah

We spent it with Sel’s family, because we did it with mine the year before

But Mom sort of insinuated we were there because Sel was an issue

 

Bood

what the fuck

 

Nicky C

I know

Obviously I shut her the fuck down immediately

 

Hazy

But let me guess

Your sister?

 

Nicky C

Bingo

I handled it then, and it all kinda went quiet after I talked to Mom

But then since the plane it’s been like they’ve really lasered in on her

 

Boyle

so i’m guessing your mom said something awful about it

 

Bood

that’s fucked if she did

 

Nicky C

I don’t think she meant it to sound like it did

 

Cap

Nick

 

Nicky C

Fuck I know

@Troy for ref, they live a while away

But at the end of Jan, Mom basically called me really late one Friday and asked me why Selena was keeping me from going back

 

Boyle

dude

 

Nicky C

Exact words were “your wife isn’t the only one who should know you’re alive”

 

Evan D

Fucking hell

Sorry but that’s fucked, Nick

 

Nicky C

I know

And Sel isn’t one to take that shit lying down

So obviously they got into it

 

Bood

do we even want to know how that ended

 

Nicky C

It got bad

I’ve never yelled at my mom before that

 

Cap

What did you say?

 

Nicky C

Called her out on that, of course

She found out after it all happened, she wasn’t there for the whole thing like Sel was etc

But then her and Laurene were really going off on Sel for not telling them there and then

 

Boyle

sorry but

not telling them what?

hey sorry, i don’t know if my husband is alive right now?

 

Nicky C

No I know

And I don’t agree with them

But her and Sel really got into it

So

I was supposed to be doing a birthday thing with them all next weekend

 

Hazy

But you don’t know if you want to now?

 

Nicky C

It’s not that I don’t want to see them

 

Cap

You do not need to lie to us

 

Nicky C

Fuck

I really don’t

Is that awful?

 

Bood

no, man

it’s not awful

they insulted your wife

 

Boyle

not awful at all

 

Nicky C

Not one of them has tried to apologize

And god knows Sel shouldn’t have to

 

Troy

It sounds like Selena has nothing to apologize for

 

Nicky C

She doesn’t

They’ve just been making this so hard

To the point where I’m like

Why am I bothering?

 

Boyle

because they’re your family, and you’re always gonna try

doesn’t mean it’s the always the right move though

 

Bood

your mom needs to apologize, nick

 

Evan D

And your sister, by the sounds of it

 

Cap

Agreed

 

Hazy

Agreed

 

Nicky C

But it’s just gonna become another bust-up

I know it

 

Evan D

So your choice is do you make Selena’s life worse

Or deal with the fallout

 

Nicky C

Basically

 

Troy

Can I be blunt?

 

Nicky C

Go for it

 

Troy

It sounds like a decision you’ve already made

You don’t want Selena to have to deal with this more than she already has

So maybe you just deal with the bust-up

 

Nicky C

I literally just want to spend it with her

I don’t want all this bullshit

 

Bood

we nearly died, brother

if you want to spend it with your wife, do that

 

Nicky C

But it’s my family

It’s my mom

 

Cap

Does not mean it is perfect

If they are not willing to try

Why should you?

 

Nicky C

Sorry Roz, didn’t even think man

 

Boyle

he’s right though

 

Cap

You do not need to apologize

I understand fucked families

 

Nicky C

Yeah

Ugh fuck

 

Evan D

Just go away for the night with Sel, dude

Not trying to be an ass

But fuck your mom and sister on this one

 

Cap

You are now optional for next Sunday’s skate

I will be pissed if you show up

 

Bood

co-signed

 

Nicky C

I appreciate it

Christ, if my in-laws were half as much work Sel and I would be AWOL by now

 

Hazy

Selena’s mom came to the team cookout last year, right?

 

Nicky C

Yeah, she’s great

 

Bood

she seems it

 

Evan D

You realize that @Cap’s in-laws are the only ones we haven’t met now? 👀

 

Boyle

oooooooooooh

 

Hazy

C’mon Roz, when we are getting them oveeeeerrrr?

 

Cap

They are not my in-laws yet!

 

Nicky C

I see that ‘yet’

 

Troy

We all see that ‘yet’

 

Cap

Go away and stop being sneaky

 

Boyle

king of not being bashful is being bashful

interesting

 

Cap

Russians do not do this

 

Evan D

Sure

 

Cap

@Nicky C Go away with Selena for your birthday

She is most important

 

Nicky C

Fuck it, why not

On it 🫡

Thanks, boys

 

Bood

anytime, brother

❤️Hazy, Boyle, Cap, Evan D, Troy

Troy

Okay so

I may have told Cap before you all about me being gay

 

Hazy

Right

Parking that

 

Troy

And talked to him about how I’d heard rumours about Hollander

With the foundation and stuff I knew they were friends

 

Boyle

Troy

I think I did

 

Holmberg

Troy

I may have asked Roz if I could have Hollander’s number

 

Nicky C

OH MY GOD

 

Boyle

Sounds like you’re the one being weird, bub

 

Cap

You will have to give me a pass

Cap

I will be quick, a few things to tell you properly

First of all, sorry

 

Evan D

Absolutely the fuck not

 

Hazy

Yeah, hard veto on apologies from you

 

Nicky C

That apology has been declared offside

Disallowed

👎Haasy, Holmberg, Young

 

Cap

HA

Fine

Other things then:

1. I am bisexual

2. I am engaged to Shane Hollander

3. We do not hate each other, obviously

4. I have been benched by league until they can apparently prove we have not been throwing games for a decade

 

Haasy

Throwing games?

Sorry are they actually fucking mad

 

Young

what the fuck ?

 

Boyle

your competitiveness being decided by people who have never watched you play charades

 

Evan D

For real

2 minutes in a room with you and that theory is kaput

 

Haasy

I was scared for my life on movie round

 

Troy

@Bood, you’ll need to tell Wiebe to cancel the Detroit game on Saturday

 

Bood

Cap

No

You need to play

 

Holmberg

@Cap is hollander ready to assume step-custody of a team of morons

 

Cap

I will have to prepare him for it

Maybe we do some supervised meetings

 

Bood

♨️Boyle, Hazy, Evan D

 

Cap

Hopefully soon

Currently trying not let the league beat us to death

Lose our careers

You know how it is

 

Hazy

Sorry man

Whenever you’re both ready

❤️Haasy, Young, Evan D, Nicky C

 

Cap

He wants to meet you

He has read the chats and is very grateful I have you

And he loves the girls

Is just a lot

 

Haasy

How’s the passport coming?

 

Cap

Trying not to think about it

Hoping we will be married before they notice

And then I will have spousal citizenship

Well that is what Shane’s mama tells me

 

Evan D

Omg

What’s his mom like??

 

Cap

Jesus

Give her an afternoon and a spreadsheet

And Yuna Hollander could rule the world

 

Nicky C

She sounds awesome

Get them to the next team cookout

 

Troy

They might actually be the in-laws by then

🥰Holmberg, Young

 

Cap

We shall see 🙈

End Notes

some notes for o-town fillies fans:

1. boyle & nicole are a match made in hell and i love them
2. yes trarris is canon in my timeline! maybe mr drover makes an appearance in future wag chats who can know for sure
3. my god writing 9 men is hard
4. i know everyone writes luca like a baby but that boy is a central european gen-zer be so fr

i hope this is a nice bridge - we're setting up the first bbq with shane!! maybe the next one is prose maybe the next one is wags who knows who knows bc i surely don't
