hola hola. This is a bit odd, but what do we know about erotic / sexual culture during Three Kingdoms? Or it would be just as interesting to learn how open / closed they were as a society around these things

How about an analysis on how the Sima clan (Yi, Shi and Zhao) managed to keep control of Wei military forces, and the means they used to do so? After all, Sima Yi recalled Xiahou Xuan to Luoyang immediately after taking over, stripping Xuan of control over Wei's military forces in Liang and Yong province, and later on Sima Zhao would recall Chen Tai (who at the time held Xiahou Xuan's previous job) to Luoyang in 256 (after driving back two big Shu invasions), and then try doing the same to Zhuge Dan the following year, whom had become the military equivalent on the East. I think this topics would be interesting to look at, and it's not something that's often discussed.

I really like that little jab at Jin Xuan (Sima Yi) and Wu Da (Sun Quan), did you write that yourself?

Anything covering late Wu, it's always seemed to have been somewhat overlooked from the time of the Quan clan's emergence, Zhuge Ke, the Sun Jun/Sun Chen stuff and through Sun Hao.
