Jemma Salume Illustrates Lovey Dovey Skyrim Cards

— January 29, 2012 — Pop Culture
Geeks celebrate Valentine’s Day as well, and Jemma Salume has illustrated the perfect gift for your gaming dude or dudette with these Skyrim Valentine’s Day cards. Featuring characters from the vastly popular Bethesda game, the love cards let gamers show their loved ones they care while still remaining true to themselves and their interests.

The text on each Jemma Salume Valentine’s day card is also hilarious, with one of them referencing the short-lived “arrow in the knee” meme, except Salume’s replaced “knee” with the word “heart.” Grown men everywhere can be heard simultaneously saying, “Aww.”

Funnily enough, Jemma Salume jokingly regrets making these cards, though it has quickly racked up an astonishing 4000 notes since being posted a day ago.
