i love both the ancestors and dancestors. that said. many many people are wrong about the dancestors in the most embarrassing ways possible so i tend to stick to my corner of the internet and ignore all the cringe. my main issue with them is that, ancestors especially, you don't follow their journey as thoroughly as the kids + beta trolls. so many fandom conceptions of them are either blatant misinformation (the dolorosa not culling a wiggler, much less a mutant one, was a severe once in a lifetime outlier. jadebloods are born to cull the weak and assist the mothergrub) or an overindulgence in headcanon that they become an alternate universe version of themselves instead of what's shown on screen
