Featuring characters from the vastly popular [Bethesda](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doughlicious-doom-the-dark-ages) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Gamer Valentine's Cards:** The creation of humorous and adorable video game-themed Valentine's Day cards for gamers, presenting an opportunity for artists and designers to cater to the gaming community during holidays. - **Nostalgic Video Game Art:** A trend in nostalgic video game art and design, enabling artists to tap into the emotional connection people have with gaming and offer unique merchandise. - **Quirky Meme-themed Gifts:** A trend in creating quirky, meme-themed gifts for individuals with niche interests, presenting an opportunity to tap into popular subcultures. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Gaming Industry:** The gaming industry can take advantage of this trend by incorporating Valentine's Day-themed events, merchandise, and collaborations with artists and designers. - **Art and Design Industry:** The art and design industry can offer their talents to create unique merchandise ranging from Valentine's Day cards to clothing and accessories with nostalgic video game themes. - **Ecommerce Industry:** The ecommerce industry can provide a platform for artists and designers to offer their quirky and unique meme-themed products to niche communities of avid gamers and collectors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Video Game-Themed Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slime-valentines-day-chocolates.md) - [Valentine's Beef Jerky Hearts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meathearts.md) - [Practical Valentine’s Day Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-card-bath-bar.md) - [Valentines-Thmes Game Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/date-night-in-a-box.md) - [Love-Inspired Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/how-to-say-i-love-you-around-the-world.md) - [Video Game-Themed Chocolate Gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-and-godiva.md) - [Naughty Valentines Day Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugar-wood.md) - [AI-Powered Valentine's Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resn.md) - [QSR Valentine's Day Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentims-cards.md)
