I'm all for people hitting yams with the "long hair and a cool fashion sense" beam but my favorite timeskip flavor is lame office worker

More favourite tropes:
“Unfortunately, [thing that would ordinarily be described in much stronger terms than ‘unfortunate’].”
“Fortunately, [thing that is in no way fortunate].”
“Unfortunately, [thing that would be fortunate in nearly any circumstance except the particular circumstance at hand].“
“Fortunately, [very minor benefit that absolutely does not offset the considerable drawbacks of whatever just happened].“
“Unfortunately, [the exact, word-for-word thing that somebody just expressed that they hope won’t happen].“
“Fortunately, [complete non sequitur].”

Oh, Dido and Ophelia. I'm so sorry. They will never understand you like I do

clorinde and wriothesley's concept designs just for fun
White people disguising their racism and xenophobia by dumping it all onto Dori cuz they know her design is orientalist and gets shit on by even POC, will never sit right with me. Especially in defense of a grown man who is the cause of his own adult suffering.
He's the one who refused to accept joint ownership of a free house simply because Alhaitham would be the other owner.
He's the one who was commissioned to make Dori's palace, then finished building most of it on a cliff location she argued against, that was also a withering zone. The withering took everything down in one night and Dori was so mad she wanted him removed from the project because of all the time and money lost.
He's the one who made the active decision to sell everything he owned, including his family home, so he could put forth at least 70% of the funds necessary, to rebuild the palace. He cost Dori an ass load of money and she still had to pitch in, AGAIN, to fill that remaining 30%. The reason he owes her money is because his impatience cost her money and, in the end, he still wasn't able to pay everything back by himself, so she had to add in more of her own money.
In fact, it was so bad that he actually overspent on materials. Because Kaveh doesn't think about what the client wants. It's about what Kaveh wants most. His Hangout literally shows this when a dude wants a building with a very specific design because it'll be within the price range he can manage, and Kaveh did nothing but argue because he didn't like how it would look if he did it the way the man wanted it.
He's the one with no concept of how to save money. He's in debt because of his own actions. He can't even spare a minute to to use his brain before he gets swindled out of everything he has.
Kaveh is self-destructive and it's all HIS fault.
