Happy Valentine’s Day, friends and mild lovers. It’s time to show those special someone(s) that you care (assuming you do). These delightfully dismissive Valentines are perfect for letting the people in your life know that, hey, you have plenty of other things to think about, too.

I love this art! So colorful and happy.
And the sentiments, it should go without saying.
Great art and sentiments! i think my favorite is “let’s not get carried away.” Perfect indifferent expression.
My favorite too!
My favorite is the last one. I like telling my non-platonic feelings (and people who try to set me up) to buzz off.
#6 and 7…so very much me right now. These are great and I love the colors!
I am head over heels in love with the woman who’s a little busy right now.
I love the slow descent from “meh” to “nope nope nope”.
#1 and #2 remind me of this love song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gaid72fqzNE (in general I detest Tim Minchin, but this song is pretty fab)
The badmintoners are so delightfully *busy*. Hard to pick a favorite, but if we’re using the laugh-meter that one won handily.

Maddie, these are super great! When did you leave the flatiron? What is even happening?!?
Hooray! I moved to California a few weeks ago and I have no clue what I’m doing here!!!! I hope you haven’t resorted to burning books for heat yet. The Flatiron gets awfully drafty in February!
I have it on insider knowledge that Madeline will be celebrating Valentine’s Day in a suburban Fuddruckers (because nothing is more romantic than burgers made with ‘exotic’ meats and footlong hotdogs).

I don’t know why but the “don’t wait up for me” makes me cackle with glee every time I see it…

I would 100% buy a print of the “just playing the field” one, despite my relationship status. She has tea! It’s great!
I need a parasol and some bigger hair in order to more exactly fit that one.
I love how the first one could also be interpreted as a valentine for a bisexual (like me) 🙂 Secret bi art!
The badminton one is hilarious
