Full #pitchdeck for WILDERNESS OF THE HEART.

Jane Goodall meets Starzan in this fast-paced tale of star-crossed lovers, bold scientists, and the eternal question of what makes us human.

Wilderness of the heart pitch guide

Alt Text: “Wilderness of the Heart” a pic compilation with Anne Hathaway with Glasses representing Jane, Brendan Frasier as George of the Jungle representing Ezra, and then a picture of a town in trees, hands clasped in the grass, and a pink and purple jungle scene. (All pictures royalty free from Pixabay)

Comparative titles to Wilderness of the Heart are Tarzan of the Apes, The Love that Split the World by Emily Henry, Once and Future, A Memory Called Empire, and The Terraformers.

Ezra is represented by actor Oliver Jackson-Cohen and Jane is presented by Actress Anne Hathaway. The test reads Wilderness of the Heart
Wilderness of the Heart combines heart-pounding sci-fi adventure with sizzling romance in an alien world that will captivate your imagination.
Will Jane choose Science or Love?

Text over a space background with a purple planet with a blue hand reaching toward it. The text says: WILDERNESS OF THE HEART: Jane Potter, a biologist on staff on mission to recolonize the failed plannet Relleth. She is saved by a human man thought lost to the wilds and an unlikely bond forms between them and Jane must risk her academic reputation to protect Ezra and prevent another disaster or lose him forever. #Q #A #SF #R #amquerying

"Wikipedia isn't trustworthy" is shorthand for "you should actually bother to check the sources, because stupid/wrong shit can be
'verified' with a bad source, & also the particular version of an article you see might be radically different from later, more scrutinized versions"

Does anyone else remember teachers gaslighting you into thinking wikipedia wasn't trustworthy even though everything on it has to have references and sources?

It's also shorthand for "I am trying to teach you how to research things and evaluate information/misinformation.
Training you to use only one website that you trust absolutely is in fact: bad"

And then at some levels it's short for
"dear god, we've gone over this over and over, college papers have to use PEER-REVIEWED SCHOLARSHIP, no
encyclopedias are going to count as peer-reviewed scholarship. Just plug your topic into the library database I'm begging you"

"I read that it's as accurate as the encyclopedia brittanica" yeah dude you aren't allowed to use that either! The point of this paper is not to get you to look up the dates of Jane Austen's birth and death it's to get you to read argument &e about her work and respond to them

I’ve been focusing on how I can have fun without having to feel like I have to also be, this game called #TheBluePrince has been quietly saving me. It scratches my puzzle and love for old weird houses itch while also being fun. I’ve started making tiny physical tiles of the Blue Prints!

Tiny rooms cut on a Glowforge and painted!

Me and a friend were literally talking about The Chosen and The Beautiful this morning so I’m taking this as a sign that it must be Nghi Vo appreciation day.

Ah see, we are strangers and you haven’t ever interacted with me before nor do you follow me so I have no context to read the tone you left in my mentions.

After having done this last year and lived to tell the tale, here I am again 18 hours later and just fine!

Why don’t you worry about yourself?

Cat grins in the camera with a cheeky smile, hand underneath her chin like “aren’t I so cute?”

When those Most Frequently Banned Books lists are all books from dead authors, it kinda suggests to me that they’ve accumulated an outsized amount of bans since they’ve all been around a long time, much longer than books by living authors. I don’t think William Golding needs your dollars right now.

She’s the reason I’m addicted to coffee still even after quitting it twice. I imprinted on her as a teenager and never looked back.

Also had to share this as I’m accidentally full librarian today with my outfit now that it finally got rainy and cold.

Not past me scheduling my flu/covid shot, therapy, and a hair appointment in the same week I’m on at the library?! Why??

We're three entries in to the DCU, and if James Gunn wants to toss discussions of Nazis, war in the Middle East, and MRAs into his work... Well, he needs to start actually saying something about them: comicbookclublive.com/2025/10/03/j...

James Gunn Is Writing About Nazis, War In The Middle East, And MRAs... So Why Is He Avoiding Saying Anything Significant About Them? | Comic Book Club

In Peacemaker, Superman, and Creature Commandos, James Gunn has touched on societal issues, but hasn't delved into them in any significant way.
