Whereas other celebrities will probably spend Valentine’s Day posting obnoxious twitpics of the opulent presents their equally famous significant others bestow upon them, Nathan Fillion is giving back to his fans. Last night, on Valentine’s Eve, he tweeted the following challenge:
Now taking Valentine Applications. No guilt trips or sob stories- GO!
Even better than the fan submissions were Fillion’s response to each one. These are like geeky little conversation hearts for you to munch on all day.
Answers for why Captain Tightpants should be people’s Valentines ranged from the new Die Hard coming out today to folks like Drew Z. Greenberg sharing irreverent memories to praise of Fillion’s jawline (which, admittedly, is quite dreamy). But the best submissions, which earned responses from Fillion himself, were the geeky ones. No surprise there.
