one of the tropes that is soooo disturbing to me but like in a good and interesting way... is when a descendant of a lineage, or an evolutionary descendant of a species, returns "home" after many years, and though this individual doesn't know or recognize this place at all, because its so different and divorced of itself now, that's where it was from... ancestrally...
ancestral determinism is soooo frightening to me like wdym there's ghosts in your blood 😭
and i guess it freaks me out how short the human lifespan is, like (if your family has emigrated or moved) you can have absolutely no connections to and no memories of what is supposedly your "homeland," but everyone insists it's your ancestral homeland as if that would mean anything to you
