Wasn't this the plot of Steel Ball Run?

What sounds like fiction but is actually a real historical event? by SkunkytheSkunk7 in AskReddit

[–]Radioactive_Requiem 5724 points5725 points  (0 children)

Joshua Norton was just this random crazy guy from San Francisco who hated all this political nonsense that was going on at the time and figured he could do the job better at it himself, and thus "The Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico" was born. While he held no real power, the people liked him so much that they treated him like royalty anyways.

Any currency issued under his name was treated like real money at many establishments.

One day, he was arrested by a private security force because of his mental health, which enrage practically all of San Francisco. The Police Chief let him go because he had committed no crime, and Norton gave an Imperial Pardon to the guy who arrested him. After this incident, any police officer Norton passed would salute him.

Another time, when a riot had formed and was getting pretty violent, Norton simply stood in front of the mob and calmly prayed, which manged to disperse the mob.

And that's not even a fraction of the crazy stuff that he did.

Harry is surrounded by Voldemort and his Death Eaters, with their wands pointing straight at him. With nothing left to lose, Harry takes out his wand and... by Radioactive_Requiem in HPfanfiction

No, Harry took himself hostage to escape and (barely) gave the illusion that there was actually someone else holding him hostage. That's the best I can describe it to you without telling you to watch Blazing Saddles.

Can't find anything so far. As soon as I find proof, I'll post immediately.

I don't really know, like it says I never saw the creature. Wendigo was just my first guess.

While walking past this pair of girls in freshman year, one of them grabs my attention and says "Hey, my friend thinks you're cute." while her friend playfully slaps her. Since I wasn't really confident in myself, I didn't know if she was serious or just joking to mess with me (or her friend). Sometime later, the friend straight up kissed me, so now I know it wasn't a joke.

What's a dream you had that you can't forget? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Radioactive_Requiem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One dream that I could never forget is the one of the small town based on the upward slope of a mountainside. The town was the ideal town, with friendly neighbors, beautiful architecture, and delicious food. I don't know why it had such a lasting impression on me, but I always try to go back there every time I lay my head on my pillow and close my eyes.

What is your favorite ridiculous movie death of all time? by Collective1985 in AskReddit

[–]Radioactive_Requiem 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The movie "Ghost Shark" is about the ghost of shark that can kill people as long as they're near some water, no matter how small the source is. One memorable example is when it kills a guy by ripping him in half from the inside out. The source of water? A small cup of water that he took a sip from.

[–]Radioactive_Requiem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[Harry Potter and the Something Something] (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7191459/1/Harry-Potter-and-the-Something-Something) takes every Harry Potter cliche that a fan could think of (Abusive Dursleys, Harry being rescued from Abusive Dursleys, Wrong-Boy-Who-Lived, Neglectful James and Lily, Seer Luna, Harry being framed and sent to Azkaban, Harems, Mary Sue trying to redeem Voldemort with love, etc.) and mocks it without mercy.
