Welcome to a special bonus edition of Jokien with Tolkien wherein we’ll have a little fun with today’s holiday and its intersection with Middle-earth!
I’ve created a handful of Valentines for you to use and share today and then collected even more of my favorites from around the web. Happy Valentine’s Day! Enjoy!
The Lord of the Rings Valentines from Yours Truly
Three roses. Each like arrows to my heart…I mean, wait.
Denethor liked the first one better.
*swoon*
Um…thanks?
For when you love an introvert.
You either got that one immediately or you need a hint…for the latter, here you go

Poor, poor Elrond. So much of the history of Middle-earth is just this history of bad things happening to the people he loves.
For when words fail….
