heyo heyo #booksky

After years of playing Dungeons & Dragons I decided to try my hand at writing an actual Book!

I'll be posting weekly on Royal Road, and would love every piece of constructive criticism you can muster!

Buck's Field Guide to Conquering Death

Buck just wanted to say goodbye to his father one last time. Little did he know that his world was about to get thrown into the middle of a long running series of games run by a not so benevolent forc...

Book Number 38

Hard Magic

Would I Recommend It?

If you want a fun 1930s Alt-history story 🔫

Inventive Magic, impressive fun facts, and a hoot hollerin’ good time. I love an action packed fast paced story that isn’t afraid to slow down for the emotional bits. Read this book

I always forget how WILD it gets. The beginning is just a chill family drama that it lures me into a false sense of security

Movie Number 161

Poltergeist

Would I Recommend It?

If you wanna watch the legitimate peak of practical effects 🪦

Actually scary, incredibly acted (especially from the kids), takes twists and turns that you CANNOT imagine. This is a rollercoaster that you’ll scream in the entire time

Movie Number 160

The A-Team

Would I Recommend It?

If you wanna watch smooth Liam Neeson act “cool” 🅰️

This is such a fever dream that is both super enjoyable and absolutely roll your eyes stupid. At least everyone is hot?

Anyone else deep in Precious Stone Identification TikTok?

No? Just me? Alright…

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 3d

I don’t know why but Cabin in the Woods is literally one of favorite movies haha. The whole corporation thing just makes giggle like a school girl

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 4d

If Ross is your favorite character on Friends then… well… go to therapy

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 4d

Movie Number 159

I Know What you Did Last Summer

Would I Recommend It?

If you wanna watch hit people be stupid and die 🪝

Tough. Both a movie that doesn’t know what it is or know when to end. Would’ve been much better if none of the old cast were in it. That dream sequence? Yikes.

Movie Number 158

The Exorcist

Would I Recommend It?

If you wanna watch the best child acting of the century 🤮

Slow burn horror with some of the most chill inducing sequences that makes the chose the end the movie with the unarguable fact that the bad guys win. Where is Pazuzu?

My insane way to watch the MCU:

Start with Infinity War and when Strange goes all 14 million to 1 pause and watch the whole MCU from the beginning.

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 5d

Movie Number 157

Blade

Would I Recommend It?

If you wanna watch maybe my favorite marvel movie? 🩸

Kickass fight scenes, weird 90s camera lenses, and lots and lots of blood. This the movie that started my obsession with marvel. There’s a reason I got two tattoos from it. Watch it.

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 5d

Movie Number 156

Trick’r Treat

Would I Recommend It?

If you wanna watch spooky kids killing people 🎃

A series of anthology stories that all have a SPOOKY connection. This was way more fun than I was expecting and I always forget that Brian Cox has this huge horror portfolio

#moviesky

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 5d

Movie Number 155

The Longest Yard

Would I Recommend It?

If you wanna the first version of the anti-prison industrial complex movie if ever seen 🏈

Adam Sandlers at it again in this strange, pro-redemption storyline where they try really hard not to say what anyone’s crimes are.

Good news Bad news:

I’ve cut 4000 words!

It’s getting harder and harder as I work through the book. Last chapter? 42 words.

A reminder:

it’s okay to change your opinion if you find out you were wrong. You don’t have to double down.

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 7d

Movie Number 154

Superman

Would I Recommend It?

If you wanna smile 😊

Sometimes you just need to watch something to feel good again.

My wife just had a sex dream about Hasan Piker.

Long story short I went to the gym this morning.

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 10d

It’s official. I have not been able to get a job for so long that I know have negative money.

Yay for the recession!!!

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 10d

Should I start a campaign trying to convince the conservative media that Trump is actually microchipped agent of the woke-left because he just publicly admitted to getting a vaccine?

Or would that attract the wrong crowd?

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 10d

Movie Number 153

Tremors

Would I Recommend It?

If you wanna watch cult-classic perfection? 🪱

Tremors is a perfect encapsulation of practical effects meets laugh out loud humor. Kevin Bacon shines as a goofball hick with a heart of gold, and let me tell you if there’s a Graboid I’m a fan

Jared Leto may have a toxic reputation, he may have a wildly unappealing screen presence, but say what you will, he also can't open a movie either.

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 10d

But books have feelings too!!!

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 10d

hey #booksky

If you wanna read the first draft of my book it’s all up on RoyalRoad!

I’m deep in my developmental edits, mostly cutting down my droning exposition, and adding more of the fan favorite character, Bev!

Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

The best thing about having people read your book early is they approach it so differently then you ever could.

My best friend just unlocked something for me that I was struggling to figure out for months. #booksky

Trump (eyes rolling back and forth in their sockets, muttering): I have enemies. They are everywhere.

ENEMIES EVERYWHERE! CUT THEM OUT! ROOT AND BRANCH! CUT THEM OWWWT!
