I've never had to do a forced close myself but my understanding is if you force close you broadcast the most updated balance on LN and if there are no disputes you get your that balance back to your onchain wallet and it's spendable after like 2016 blocks or something like that

ok so its linked to the onchain wallet it came from originally? Kind of like a failsafe?

Every HTLC you create is tied to the UTXO you locked up/wallet you signed from, Lightning sats can always be closed and returned to the mainchain
