Legit had a dream last night that Thomas the tank engine fell off the railway to the afterlife into purgatory and spent centuries trying to escape a ghost train sweatshop, only to end up back in the real world as a lost and confused human, distraught that his chance at a peaceful train death had been ripped from him.
I don’t know what I did last night to cause this but I need to never do it again.
#WHY THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE?#Why was he on the tracks to train Valhalla what had killed this beast of the ages?#Why did escaping the sweatshop lead him back to the real world instead of letting him move on?#Why did train purgatory resemble a foggy Scottish moor?#Why did the real world he showed up in resemble feudal Japan???
I’ve only just remembered upon retelling this dream to my friend and had to rush here before I forgot it again. I explicitly remember human Thomas’ last words upon looking morosely out upon feudal Japan were very close to “I did not waste so many of my years to end up back on this miserable planet.”
Like, if this dream had featured humans or frankly ANYTHING other that a sentient train it would have been totally serious. There was not a single funny moment in this dream WHY WAS IT THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE?!
I made this fanart instead of eating breakfast
I cannot BELIEVE this.
