The Reunion (Official Fake Movie Poster 😂)

Lancie is in the center because it's all more or less his story. Hallie is very closely involved, of course, but well... I'll get to it. Eventually. 😂

It's the first time I aged Mark, Lucy and Tim up, too. All in all, this was more or less a quick one; I started doodling a few faces yesterday, to work myself out of a creative rut, and decided to throw some story-related faces in... voila! An artwork was born! Headshots usually help me to get back into the game, and this is the first time I did something like this so I'm happy enough!

Benji takes Ethan to a family event, his first since he moved to the USA. His brother, Gary King, says he won't show to Nicholas Angel (Nicholas, Shaun and Tim are Gary and Benji's cousins in this).

Cut to Benji who's drilling Ethan on his family. His brother's Gary, they've got different names because Benji was born before their parents were married, Gary when they were. He’s an ex-addict who tried to kill himself so don't mention either.

His parents are divorced. His cousins are:

Tim Bisley, wife's name is Daisy, they have two kids, Leia and Luke. He’s an artist, she’s a "writer" who doesn’t write but don't tell her he said that

Shaun Riley, wife's name is Liz. There isn't much to say about them, they travel because Liz wants to, but go to the same pub because of Shaun.

Nicholas Angel. Constable of a rural police force, his fiancé's Danny Butterman, Sergeant of the same police force.

They get there, everyone's shocked he's there and are asking who is boyfriend is. Ethan puts on the MI3 charm of being so boring no one listens when talking about his work in the Department of Transport. Well, Nicholas's interested, yet Ethan doesn't crack and answers all his questions.

Then, a bad guy follows them. Their cover is blown and they're forced to fight them. Danny's amazed, Gary's laughing in the corner, Nicholas is trying his best after Benji tells him to get everyone out.

Now they're all much more interested in Benji's American boyfriend

Zach Despart at Texas Tribune:

BEAUMONT — Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan, the top electoral target for a far-right faction of Republicans intent on controlling the Legislature, emerged victorious Tuesday over a well-funded challenger endorsed by Donald Trump and his allies.

Phelan defeated former Orange County Republican Party chairman David Covey, who also had the backing of Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, Attorney General Ken Paxton and former Texas Republican Party Chairman Matt Rinaldi. In doing so, he avoided the ignominious fate of becoming the first House speaker to lose a primary in 52 years. With all precincts reporting, Phelan was up 366 votes — within the margin that Covey can call for a recount. Covey, however, conceded in a speech to supporters at his election night party in Orange shortly after 9:30 p.m. Phelan, 48, who has seen his popularity plummet among Republicans since he backed the impeachment of Paxton on corruption and bribery charges exactly one year and one day ago, was defiant in his victory speech at JW’s Patio in Beaumont. “I will be your state rep for HD 21 and I will be your speaker for the Texas House in 2025,” Phelan said to a raucous crowd of more than 100 supporters. “This was a true grassroots effort — not the fake grassroots.”

Covey, a 34-year-old first-time candidate, not only forced Phelan into a runoff in March but secured more votes than the two-term House speaker. That outcome shocked many in the district, as Phelan was previously reelected four times without Republican opposition and hails from one of the most prominent families in Beaumont. Candidates for the Texas Legislature who trail after the first round rarely win their runoffs. Phelan carried the unique advantage of being a statewide leader with a prolific roster of political donors. Through May 20, his campaign reported spending $3.8 million on the runoff, more than double Covey’s $1.6 million. Their combined hauls amounted to what was almost certainly the most expensive state House race in Texas history. It was also an ugly contest — Phelan accused Covey of running on “lies and deceit” — where the candidates attacked each other in a flood of mailers and television advertisements.

[...] Phelan’s win is a major blow to the party’s ultraconservative faction that is led ideologically by Patrick and Paxton and financed by megadonors like West Texas oil magnate Tim Dunn. It is a group that rejects compromise and bipartisanship, demonizing Democrats and the Republicans willing to work with them. This ascendant wing has supplanted the party’s traditional focus on taxes and regulations with highly divisive social issues like transgender rights and book bans. In defeat, that group did not go quietly. Covey called Phelan an "Austin swamp creature" who only secured reelection through the support of Democrats, which he said was a "brazen act of betrayal." Paxton, an early endorser of Covey who had campaigned for the challenger as late as Tuesday afternoon, echoed the claim. The attorney general, who had vowed revenge against Phelan for supporting his impeachment, said the speaker had "blatantly stolen an election from the hard-working people of his district" by courting Democrats. Paxton said Republicans should move to closed primaries — a priority of the far right — and he issued a warning to members of the House.

[...] But whether Phelan can hold on to the speaker’s gavel is unclear. One of his own committee chairmen, Republican Rep. Tom Oliverson of Cypress, declared his candidacy for speaker in March. But no members have publicly endorsed Oliverson, and while his reelection was in doubt, Phelan was able to keep the rest of his caucus from open rebellion. [...] Attacked by his enemies as a RINO, Phelan was also widely considered more conservative than his predecessors, Phelan secured passage of the state’s near-total ban on abortion, permitless carry of handguns and several first-in-the-nation border security bills. Phelan was easily reelected speaker in January 2023 with all Democrats and almost all Republicans in support; conservative rumblings of dissatisfaction amounted to a paltry three votes for another candidate. And he batted away far-right criticism of the House’s longstanding practice of appointing Democratic committee chairs, appointing them to lead eight of 34 committees.

Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan (R) staves off MAGA wing/Farris Wilks/Tim Dunn-funded candidate David Covey to narrowly keep his seat and his Speakership gavel.
