I imagine them to be a happy family in the modern AU where Fengxian and Lakan are married and Lahan and Maomao are their children. Fengxian would be strict but she very much dotes on her kids (just not as obviously as Lakan, but who can compare with Lakan).

I feel like Lakan would be a lawyer which would put his skills to use, whereas Fengxian would be an academic in mathematics, and of course they're both super good at xiangqi and go in different ways. (I'd like to think Fengxian taught Lahan a lot of maths when he was younger and that encouraged his love for the subject).

Something something """canon""" age difference, modern AU where Rex actually is a decade younger than Anakin

And for Reasons, 34yo Anakin and 39yo Padme have decided to invite this Hot Young 24yo Who Just Exited The Military into their bed for a quick romp that turns into something of a longterm relationship that is sortakinda sugaring

………….just realized this makes Rex only [checks math] twelve or thirteen years older than the twins.

Which is very funny to me. These tweens are so unimpressed by the GI Bill college guy their parents are wooing. Is this supposed to be their new babysitter? A nanny? Wait, he's your boyfriend??? EW.

Such a weird age difference to have with your sorta stepkids

Wine cathedrals

In Catalonia, historically one of the main occupations has been growing vineyards and making wine. In the early 20th century, wine workers' trade unions and cooperatives built beautiful buildings for their job.

In 1921, the famous Catalan writer Àngel Guimerà, already in his elderly years, visited the seat of the Agricultural Union in the village L'Espluga de Francolí. Amazed at its sight, he called it a "wine cathedral". This name has become the denomination of this kind of buildings, built in the Catalan Modernist style. Many of them were designed by the Catalan architect Cèsar Martinell.

Though it's difficult to show the size and monumentality of these buildings only with photos, I have added some of them below. The photos where you can see the wine containers below are taken already from a very high point (the ground is under the wine containers).

Winery of the Agriculture Cooperative in Gandesa (Terres de l'Ebre, Catalonia). Built in 1919. Photos by Rafa Pérez, Casa de las Letras and Cooperativa Gandesa.

Cooperative Cellar of Pinell de Brai (Terres de l'Ebre, Catalonia). Built in 1922. Photos by Tjerk van der Meulen and Jordi Borràs.

Cellar of the Agrarian Society in Barberà de la Conca. Built in 1919-1921. Photos from Conca de Barberà Turisme and D.O. Conca de Barberà.

There are about 40 buildings in Catalonia who belong to wine workers' cooperatives and that were built around those years in Catalan Modernist style.

Time Travel Question : Murder and Disappearance Edition I

Given that Judge Crater, Roanoke, and the Dyatlov Pass Incident are credibly solved, though not 100% provable, I'm leaving them out in favor of things ,ore mysterious. I almost left out Amelia Earhart, but the evidence there is sketchier.

Some people were a little confused. Edward V and Richard of Shrewsbury are the Princes in the Tower.
