IAND I HAVE PROOF
Well, sort of
Have you ever seen or heard about Thomas & Friends? Y’know the Tv show about talking trains with faces. Thomas once had a movie, which is quite… quite stupid to say the least, but it was kind of cool tho.
The movie is named Thomas and The Magic Railroad, and it states that the reason as to why the engines are alive is because of magic. They are not even in our earth, they’re from another world.
So far this doesn’t make much sense in The Owl House’s context, since the grass in Thomas is still green, humans live in Sodor and stuff. However, a peculiarity in TATMR, Is that while they use human actors such as Mara Wilson, Peter Fonda, and Alex hexing Baldwin for the protagonists and avoid showing any humans in Sodor; there are two cameos of wooden figurines in the Island, something quite normal to see in the regular TV show but in a movie where we see live action people seeing two figurines is quite off. And then I remember a joke about Alec Baldwin being attracted to the controller’s wife that’s still a wooden figure.
In The Owl House, we know about the topic of realms. There is the human realm, where we live. There’s the Demon realm where witches, magicians, demons, eldritch abominations and giraffes live in, there is the In-Between Realms that’s where you can see anything literally (I think). But they are not the only realms that Exist. I remember they mentioned a Ghost Realm as well as another one
So, if in TATMR it’s stablished that humans don’t exist in there, that Engines are sentient, then it could be another realm within The Owl House canon, I’m not saying that they are in the Boiling Isles, tho. I’m only implying the existence of a realm oddly similar to the Human realm but with wooden people and talking trains among the massive amount of realms that I can assure you exist within this wonderful canon of TOH
Also a fanfic part cuz why not
Luz found her way into the Buffers. “Cool, another portal to somewhere. I wonder where I’m going this time” she said to herself. The travel was very quiet across a straight track with grass as green as Amity’s hair when they first met, and she could feel a lot of peace as she floated through that very weird place. Finally, she saw another set of Buffers. “Well, I guess we’re going inside them again.” Luz looked at her palisman and closed her eyes hoping that she wouldn’t be abruptly expelled from the Buffers at the other end.
Luz came out of the Buffers with a glowing rainbow aura, where she was met with grass as green as the place she grew up in, the Human Realm. “This is exactly like the Earth. I guess I didn’t leave the US at all” she smiled. “Oh well, let’s find our way home, shall we, Stringbean?”
Stringbean nodded, and after walking a few minutes, Luz saw how a small train was heading toward her. The train was blue, he had six small wheels, a short stumpy funnel, a short stumpy boiler and a short stumpy dome. Luz was impressed by seeing a steam train on service, but she was even more impressed when she saw that the train had a grey face in his smoke box. “What in the Titan’s name?” She said before attempting to stop him to take indications. “Hey! You! Stop!” She told the train. The train, thinking it was important stopped. “Where are we? I’m new here.”
”We are near Killdane, it’s just a few miles ahead.”
”No, I mean, what is this place? Where are am I?”
The train knew the young lady was lost, he could tell she wasn’t from this place, she wasn’t from anywhere around the island, but she seemed to be something like a human. “we are in the Isla d of Sodor, the magical land where the dreams come true.” He replied
”Thanks… do you know how I find my way back to the United States?” Luz asked
”If you are here because of the Magic Buffers, then just go through them again and you’ll be back in your land in no time.”
”Magic buffers?!” Luz seemed excited by the thought.
”Yes, that’s a way to have the human earth and our earth connected. Protected by the Magical Engine, named Lady”.
”Sounds awesome. Can you tell me more about them?”
”I have to get to the station first, but you can get on my cab and I’ll explain it all to you.”
”It would be quite nice, thank you , Mr Train”
The train just chuckled a bit. “You can call me Thomas, young lady.”
”Well, nice to meet you, Thomas. My name’s Luz, Child of the Human Realm, Student of the Demon Realm, and Warrior of Peace.”
”That’s quite a long name, Can I just call you Luz?”
“Sure!”
Luz got into Thomas cab, and as he puffed down the tracks he told Luz the story of how he discovered the magic buffers 26 years ago. Needless to say, Luz was very impressed by the story, and by knowing that there are many realms across the universe other than the three she has visited.
