We trust you to be responsible with these items, because if you're not, we're going to send Harry after you to take them back. You see, both of these items represent dangerous mechanical beings that could be unleashed to wreak great havoc in the wrong hands. But again, we trust you. Don't let us down! Remember that you're doing this for the children and go bid on these silent auctions in the name of peace.


Papier-Mâché Choo Choo Charles Trinket Box

A horrifying spider with a grinning clown face and sharp, blood soaked teeth gazes directly at the camera. His body is a train engine, and one of his legs has a human pierced through the gut hanging off it.

Choo Choo Charles got tired of people asking him the bussing trolley question day after day. Kill one person you know or kill five strangers? Here's a better idea: kill all the people. Run them down and pierce them with your horrifying, sharp claws. If you also hate philosophical questions (and/or love the indie horror game Choo Choo Charles and its eponymous demon spider train), then you and Charles are meant for each other and you should place a bid while you still can.

Papier-Mâché Choo Choo Charles auction ends at 2am PT.


Evangelion Bead Crochet Bracelets

Three shining beaded bracelets with chevron patterns in alternating colors are displayed on a person's wrist. From left to right, they are: 1) blue, black, and white 2) purple, black, and green 3) orange, black, and red.

These bracelets (made with the tiniest and cutest crochet hook I have ever seen in my life) represent three of the iconic mechas from Neon Genesis Evangelion, but they are much less choosy and will allow anyone to wear them.
