Stranger in a Familiar Land	comment	Known in real life as "Reverse Culture Shock" or "Re-entry Shock". A character returns home after a long absence and finds that they no longer fit in, either because their home has changed too much over time, because they themselves were changed by their experiences or both. In the second case, it can lead to a But Now I Must Go sentiment. In less extreme cases, the character may eventually settle down again with some effort. Prominent real-life examples are usually based on soldiers returning home, most commonly from World War I or The Vietnam War, or prisoners who find after serving their sentences that they can't adapt to life "outside". This is also relatively common among anthropologists and related fieldworkers who come home after a long stint in another society only to realize how bizarre their own culture really is. Another common case is people who were raised in another culture who travel back to their family's homeland — despite sharing cultural ties due to their family's past, they experience Heritage Disconnect and find themselves alienated due to their foreign upbringing. Present in Western literature as early as in Homer's The Odyssey, making it Older Than Feudalism. Related to You Can't Go Home Again, Never Accepted in His Hometown, Going Native, and possibly So What Do We Do Now?. This experience may be part of causing the character in question to go From Camouflage to Criminal. Occasionally overlaps with Where It All Began. Contrast Home Sweet Home — although this trope may also make the character realize that his home is no longer the place where he used to live. He may find that his old bed is too soft and he now Prefers Rocks to Pillows. Often, characters placed in this situation will choose to put themselves back In Harm's Way. Has absolutely nothing to do with Stranger in a Strange Land, though was named for it. WARNING: Below are unmarked spoilers aplenty!

Stranger in a Familiar Land / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age: The original Dragon Age: Origins had a mild example, or at least one that's not drawn as much attention to: if you befriended Sten and speak to him after defeating the Archdemon, he'll suggest that Seheron might not be quite the same to him as it would have been, since your adventures have changed his view of the world somewhat. This is especially true if your Warden is a female mage, since Qunari believe women are not competent warriors and mages aren't even people, and you've just killed both of those ideas. His writer Mary Kirby says he may even have had to spend some time with the Ben-Hassrath for all the strange ideas he's picked up (though Those Who Speak shows he's reintegrated pretty well, if being promoted to Arishok is any indication). If you didn't befriend him, he'll just be happy to be able to go home and get away from Ferelden's strangeness. Dragon Age II: All that's left of what Hawke's mother had in Kirkwall is a bitter brother to remind her of what she'd lost. When Aveline asks Hawke about returning to Lothering, he/she can reply that it's no longer home.

It didn't help that he'd returned right after Civil War, and is disturbed by the news of everything that's happened (including that his former girlfriend died right at the beginning of the event). After an attack by a supervillain, followed by the Thunderbolts when he arrests said supervillain, where he's treated as the villain just because he's there, Rich finally decides to leave, announcing "I think the world's gone insane, and I want off". So, after one disturbing conversation with a psychologically damaged Speedball, he leaves.

Ben Naasade finds himself in this situation when he travels back in time before the events of The Phantom Menace. The first time he arrives at Coruscant, heâ€™s taken aback by how lax the planet's security is compared to the constant and tight security he was used to during the Clone Wars. Thereafter, both he and his fellow Jedi find the difference between them to be deeply jarring (particularly how alarmingly comfortable he is with lethal combat and war), with more than one expression of disturbed disbelief at how someone as sweet and earnest as Obi-Wan Kenobi could have turned into Jedi Master Ben Naasade.

Stranger in a Familiar Land / int_21e321da	comment	Prince Keifer in Dragon Quest VII. He had a fantastic adventure Trapped in Another World in a spinoff game, Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart, years earlier, and ever since then has been struck with a lust for adventure and wandering which proves quite problematic for somebody trapped in palace life in a world with only a single, perfectly peaceful and rather small island, due to Orgodemir the Demon King sealing them away. To say that he Jumped at the Call is an understatement; the only reason anybody found the call is because he spent the years between the spinoff and the game proper going over the island with a fine-toothed comb for something interesting.

The more "Insight" you obtain, the more your character comes to understand a smidgen about how these incomprehensible beings work and gain Through the Eyes of Madness. Your character may become enthralled by the pursuit of occult knowledge, or fearful that these creatures will devour humanity if they are not hunted down and chased out of the universe. If you choose to stay after your quest is done, Gehrman decides to mercy-kill you because only a madman would willingly continue to murder and be murdered by an endless slew of Eldritch Abominations while they are subjected to daily Mind Rape. In the ending where you don't, it's revealed that you were adventuring in your home town all along; just in astral form and subject to Your Mind Makes It Real eldritch vision.

Still, she thanks Schmendrick for the experience, with the claim that if she had to do it again she would. Also in the original novel.

Stranger in a Familiar Land / int_4c746380	comment	Depicted in Inuyasha to some degree. Kagome has three friends from her school, and we see how she has less and less in common with them the once or twice per season she returns home; they're thinking of tests and cute boys, while her circumstances have her outgrowing normal high-school concerns. When she talks about her romantic troubles but leaves out the details, they think he's just hung up on his ex, while the truth is more like "his dead previous fiancee isn't dead, and we don't know which side she's on or what her complicated long-term game is, as if an Artifact of Doom-wielder who only gets more unkillable every week wasn't enough."

Stranger in a Familiar Land / int_53a0bd32	comment	Happens more than a few times in The Twilight Zone (1959): In one episode, a man takes his bride-to-be back to his hometown, which is slightly different than he remembered it. No one recognizes him. Someone else is living in the family home. He finds out he's a robot. In another episode, a man wakes up after a night of drinking. When the woman next to him wakes up, she has no idea who he is, although he insists he's her husband. He spends the rest of the episode trying to prove who he is. In the end, he finds that he exists again, only his wife looks completely different. In "The Trouble with Templeton", Booth Templeton is sent back to 1927 and meets his beloved wife Laura and his best friend Barney Flueger, both long dead, in a speakeasy. They soon shun and insult him. Laura even slaps him and says, "Go back where you came from! We don't want you here!" As Laura had a script entitled What to Do When Booth Comes Back, Booth realizes that it was merely a performance to shake him out of his obsession with the past and convince him to live his own life.

Philip recognizes that the decades he spent in America not only changed him but also changed his home country. If he ever goes back, he will not fit in and might not like the country the Soviet Union has become. Elizabeth is more of a zealot and refuses to consider this, holding on to an idealized vision of the Soviet Union that never really existed. As the show's timeline approaches Soviet collapse, this conflict escalates with Philip giving up on the spy game and fully settling into his American life while Elizabeth becomes more fanatical in her views.

Stranger in a Familiar Land / int_629cd094	comment	The original Dragon Age: Origins had a mild example, or at least one that's not drawn as much attention to: if you befriended Sten and speak to him after defeating the Archdemon, he'll suggest that Seheron might not be quite the same to him as it would have been, since your adventures have changed his view of the world somewhat. This is especially true if your Warden is a female mage, since Qunari believe women are not competent warriors and mages aren't even people, and you've just killed both of those ideas. His writer Mary Kirby says he may even have had to spend some time with the Ben-Hassrath for all the strange ideas he's picked up (though Those Who Speak shows he's reintegrated pretty well, if being promoted to Arishok is any indication). If you didn't befriend him, he'll just be happy to be able to go home and get away from Ferelden's strangeness.

If he instead is talked down, not only is the nigh-verbatim quote from the Vault Dweller's Overseer left unsaid, but Amata's phrasing indicates that she herself doesn't blame the Lone Wanderer for the civil war — she just believes that others do, and that the Wanderer's presence will keep wounds open and increase tensions at a time when stability is critical for the Vault.

When they come back to their hometown just a mile away, it's destroyed beyond restoration and has to be scrapped to do any good. Even then, some of their friends and family survived... but most of them have been changed by the wasteland, most importantly their son, who was raised by Mad Scientist isolationists and has been terrorizing the wasteland in a well-meaning attempt to save the best of humanity (who are literally detached from the outside world and not exactly going anywhere in their progress). Also, even if you support him, he has stage-three cancer; bringing him back with superscience would REALLY warp his mind into something irredeemable, so he's a dead man.

This details Frank Castle's experiences with this back during the period between his return from Vietnam and the death of his family. He struggled to be a normal family man again, but the whole time he desperately craved a return to war and violence in general. Parallels are drawn between this period in his past and the present, where he's in prison.

Stranger in a Familiar Land / int_7f5bc680	comment	The original Fallout. Though perhaps in this case, it's not so much the Vault Dweller himself that has the problem, it's the Overseer telling him he could inspire some of the younger Vault dwellers to leave themselves, so the Player Character has to leave for the good of the community. If you have negative karma (possible) or the otherwise entirely useless "Bloody Mess" trait (you always see the most gruesome death animations) you are given the option to shoot him in the face at that point. Otherwise you leave quietly. Lampshaded in the sequel, Fallout 3, where Girl Next Door and possibly High School Sweetheart Amata calls the Lone Wanderer back to help her into stopping an outright civil war in their community, then, quoting almost verbatim the Overseer from Fallout, blames the civil war on him, banishing the Lone Wanderer forever. Owing to the sandbox quality of the modern Fallout games, you can still shoot her in the face At least, if Amata's dad, the Overseer is killed. If he instead is talked down, not only is the nigh-verbatim quote from the Vault Dweller's Overseer left unsaid, but Amata's phrasing indicates that she herself doesn't blame the Lone Wanderer for the civil war — she just believes that others do, and that the Wanderer's presence will keep wounds open and increase tensions at a time when stability is critical for the Vault. This is effectively the plot in Fallout 4: Vault 111's theme was cryogenics research, and the player character was used as a test subject for over 210 years. When they come back to their hometown just a mile away, it's destroyed beyond restoration and has to be scrapped to do any good. Even then, some of their friends and family survived... but most of them have been changed by the wasteland, most importantly their son, who was raised by Mad Scientist isolationists and has been terrorizing the wasteland in a well-meaning attempt to save the best of humanity (who are literally detached from the outside world and not exactly going anywhere in their progress). Also, even if you support him, he has stage-three cancer; bringing him back with superscience would REALLY warp his mind into something irredeemable, so he's a dead man.

Frodo has the most problems with the "happily ever after" part, although Pippin and Merry also have trouble with staying in the Shire for long, and in the end, they spend their last years with Aragorn in Minas Tirith. Sam is the only one who seems to fully fit in again, but after his wife dies, he follows in Frodo's footsteps and sails away to the Undying Lands in the True West. Some fans believe Frodo had PTSD. Tolkien was a veteran of World War I, so it's very likely that there was some intentional Reality Subtext at play.

After being an exile for the entire series, the series finale has Garak finally able to stand on Cardassia without fear of being arrested or killed. Only now that the Dominion has bombed the crap out of the planet and its government is in shambles, Cardassia is no longer the Cardassia he left, and when it does get back on its feet it will be a completely new Cardassia. Garak hates the irony of it. In Star Trek: The Next Generation, Worf finds that his humorless dedication to honor and duty has little to do with how Klingons in the Empire conduct themselves. Star Trek: Enterprise. The episode "Home" is a Breather Episode showing what happens after Enterprise returns from saving Earth in the previous season. Captain Archer and Subcommander T'Pol in particular find it difficult to adapt to the expected norms. Earth too has changed, with increased hostility towards aliens that becomes a plot point later in the series.

During the novel, the main character experiences four years, but centuries pass on Earth. Word of God says that the novel was inspired by the author's experience of fighting in The Vietnam War and then returning home. Played to devastating effect with Mandella and Potter's return to Earth after their first tour of duty, during which thirty years have passed on Earth. Mandella's father is dead; his mother is dying of cancer which The Government's socialized medicine system refuses to treat because she is not worth it, and she has taken a lesbian lover. Potter's parents are forced out of their home for defying government regulations, and end up on an agricultural commune under assumed identities. They are killed by raiders looking for food while Mandella and Potter are staying with them. Needless to say, the two re-enlist in the Army and get off the planet.

It's downplayed as the night elves are long-lived creatures, so they do remember who Galadwen is and their society hasn't changed that much—Galadwen's only grip is that they are serving the (in comparison) short-lived humans instead of leading the Alliance with their experience.

Within the first half hour, the hero gets sucked into an alternate dimension where he died as a child and everything's different...except that the next 20 hours of the game are in Another World and it takes that long to gain the ability to return to Home World. The player never really gets the opportunity to explore Home until then. Serge is a Heroic Mime, so we don't know his thoughts on this, but meta-wise this trope is in force for the player. However, since the first time you get to properly explore it is after getting body swapped with your nemesis Lynx, who is feared throughout the land, its something of an example for him as well.

When she finally — if involuntarily — makes it back to Sunnydale, she finds that she's three years further down the timeline in an alternate Sunnydale (for example, Buffy was dating Vi and had never heard of Angel) where all of the Scoobies are suspicious of her Kryptonian powers.

After being in limbo for 7 years due to Fi not deeming him worthy of wielding the Master Sword, he's grown up only to find that all his friends haven't. Turns out he's a different species to them anyway. They don't recognize him and many of them actually miss the child Link that left. Link seems to decide not to tell them (though Mido might know).

He goes to great lengths to prove himself to them, but it only eats away at his sanity and ruins his life. Upon his return to King's Landing, Jaime immediately feels out of place after everything he's been through. On top of that, while his return would have been huge news, no one even recognizes him due to how different he looks. Cersei almost immediately notices his less cocky, more contemplative demeanor (along with his missing hand).

Stranger in a Familiar Land / int_c62995ba	comment	Child of the Storm: There's the canonical example of Steve Rogers, though rather downplayed since he's had a couple of years to adjust. Harry in the sequel. The end of the first book and the start of the second, add up to about 5 months of real time (plus 6 months in the Nevernever). By the time he gets back to Hogwarts, he's been forced to grow up very fast. Consequently, he's terrifyingly powerful, has spectacularly awful PTSD, and very different priorities from his peers. This often manifests as him being impatient with both the (normal) teenage childishness of his peers and the nature of the Wizarding World, while they're somewhat creeped out by him. Later, while he softens up a bit, he's very aware of how much he's been changed by his experiences, and sometimes regrets it a little (though he makes clear to Ron that he has changed and he's not going back). He admits to Clark that he finds it hard to be normal and relate to anyone not on the same strange wavelength and advises him to stay grounded. This causes a widening rift with Ron and Hermione - keeping them Locked Out of the Loop for good and bad reasons doesn't help. Nor does being both actively and passively manipulative.

Stranger in a Familiar Land / int_c694d5e1	comment	To Hell and Back (Arrowverse): While Oliver seems to manage his return to Starling City well enough, he is constantly and bitterly reminded of all the things he missed out on and all the things that changed during his ten year-absence, especially with his family and three closest friends. He left when his sister Thea was seven and came back to find her almost an adult, his formerly-irresponsible best friend Tommy is now a (mostly) straight-laced executive at his father's company, his other best friend Laurel had completely moved on with her life as a successful lawyer at CNRI, and her younger sister Sara didn't even reside in Starling anymore, now traveling the world as a humanitarian. While he hides it well, Oliver is clearly bothered by this, and it has affected him more than he cares to admit. Barry is a downplayed example. He isn't nearly as affected by the changes with his family in Central City, as his ties amount to three people (his father and the Wests), and the only one who changed significantly was his best friend Iris. Nonetheless, he still feels a level disconnect: for example, when he enters his room in the West House for the first time in years, he can barely stand the sight of it because it looks like a child's room, as he hasn't been a child in a very long time.

Grimm tells Gwen that her actions, the guilt she feels in killing an enemy soldier, the horrors of seeing a Silkweaver mother attack and kill people, watching ship-to-ship combat so close, are things that her parents, friends, and others in the Spire can understand but lack the empathetic knowledge of having experienced it directly. If she needs to speak with a person, then others in the team, like Creedy, Benny, Bridgette, or himself, will be there to listen. That she feels horrible and doesn't wish to tell others to make them experience things second-hand is proof of her humanity.

He eventually ended up in a fight with a villain who we assume had some sort of time-related powers, which got him sent back to his own time. He discovered that he'd succeeded in his mission and that the future was now one where humanity was thriving, but the changes he'd made were so extensive that he'd become a temporal anomaly — the rest of his family were never born, and what was his home had become a taco stand. In a later story that tells of Samaritan's archenemy Infidel, the immortal Infidel traveled forward in time and built an empire in Samaritan's old world, only to be shocked and appalled at the ignominy when he finds that his home (which had been coincidentally built on the wreckage of Samaritan's) had also become the same taco stand.

Stranger in a Familiar Land / int_e14ea6d2	comment	The Pretenders song "My City Was Gone" is basically this trope. Chrissie Hynde, an Akron, Ohio native, contemplates in the song of the destruction of the old city centre of Akron and reduction of the South Howard into parking lots. It happened in the late 1960s and 1970s when she was living in London, UK.

The whole world had changed, continents had fallen into the sea, the empire had been broken apart, time and magic had become askew and he had spent years, if not decades, traveling home on his own. When he arrives, only some years have passed there and everything is as it has always been. But after all the catastrophes he witnessed and having spent at least months entirely alone at sea, he feels like a stranger to his family and soon again leaves.

His experiences with the Dwarves and Smaug ensured he never quite fit in with the hobbits again, and when he abandoned the Ring, he left the Shire for good, living the rest of his life with the Elves. First in Rivendell, later in the Undying Lands. Although the effects of the aforementioned Ring certainly didn't help.

Stranger in a Familiar Land / int_fe8ef766	comment	Captain America is depicted this way in modern incarnations (especially his Ultimate counterpart). He was frozen in a block of ice during WWII and was originally thawed out in the 1960s. As comics have continued, however, the gap in between when he was frozen and thawed out has grown larger, spanning decades and decades, making Cap feel even more out-of-place with the current world and, in Ultimate Cap's case, its sensibilities. Regardless, he's still looked up to as the pinnacle of heroism in the Marvel Universe, and an example for all to follow. This also happens to Cap whenever he time-travels back to the 1940s. The casual racism and sexism of the era make him feel entirely out of place.
