Three cute pictures inspired by last week's interview with one of my favorite guests.



1. Down By The Lake

From that interview, Stephen riffing on Tyson's corsage: "You look so summery and so nattily dressed, like we're about to go boating. You play the ukelele, and I'll sit beneath my parasol."

Okay, so I forgot the ukelele. But I got the rest of it.




2. Reaching For The Stars

I love the way these two interact.

Tyson so obviously adores talking about astrophysics, and Stephen is helpless to resist his influence. The angry anti-intellectual turns into a curious little kid, wide-eyed with awe at the possibilities in the universe.





3. Bedtime Story

His Wikipedia article makes no mention of family, but come on, just look at the guy: wouldn't Tyson be a fantastic parent? And we know how much Stephen wants someone to take care of him.

So here's Stephen getting a bedtime story about stars.

I love the first picture because it caters to both the actor's and the character's suppressed Southern... ness.

I cooed and awwed at the third picture -- Stephen actually shutting up and listening for once is a miracle, a very cute one.

Though I keep imaging Jon or just some passerby's back of their heads harboring sweatdrops as they look upon these scenes.

With the first one . . . I admit, I was thinking turn-of-the-century England. (One of my areas of interest that rarely intersects with this fandom.) But it works nicely with Stephen as a Southern belle =3

His ability to make Stephen shut up and listen (adorably) is one of the things I love most about NdGT.

Yeah, I know how the passers-by feel . . . but if they got close enough to hear, I'm sure they would be sucked in too.

Thank you!

These are so cute! A very nice way to end the day.

The first picture is my favorite. I'm sure the ukelele is laying in the bottom of the boat. ;)

[erinptah]

Of course! That must be where the ukelele got to.

Glad you like!

Oh my gosh, those pictures are so adorable!

I especially love the last one; Stephen looks so enthralled. :D Lovely job!

[erinptah]

Adorable was definitely the goal =3 So glad you like!

[docsaico.livejournal.com]

Aww, these are adorable. I totally agree with what you said for the second picture. They have amazing chemistry, I love it when Tyson comes on the Report (he's pretty awesome on his own, but with Stephen? that's even better!). So, yeah, these rule. <3

[erinptah]

Thank you! The world seems to agree: we could do with more Tyson all around =D

The adorableness of these pieces is overwhelming! :-D

[erinptah]

Thank you!

[leonaokami.livejournal.com]

Awwww... those are adorable. I love them both so much, too. Thanks for sharing!

[erinptah]

Great to hear. Glad you like!

awwwwwwww.
those are so cute :D
I love the third one! It's the return of the flag pajamas, they're really awesome.

[erinptah]

Eeeeeverybody loves the flag pajamas =3

Thank you!

Its hard to pick between the second and third, as to which is my favorite. :O

don't get me wrong they're all really adorable, especially Stephen's reaching for the stars (one good word = precious) wonder if Stephen knows how cute you're making him out to be ;D

[erinptah]

He's cute all on his own; he doesn't need much help from me =3

So glad you like!

[truthiness-aura.livejournal.com]

That is so cute. EEEEEEEEE.
Hard to pick a favorite, but I like the last one; it really captures (to me) that sense of wonder and joy a good teacher can make you feel. You make me want to go watch meteor showers.
(And yes, the flag PJs are super cute.)

[erinptah]

You make me want to go watch meteor showers.

This is one of the nicest things anybody's ever said to me. Thank you ♥

OMG, so cute, so cute, so cute.

*reaches for stars with him*

[erinptah]

Aww. Thank you!

[omelton.livejournal.com]

I would never have thought Neil DeGrasse Tyson could look so incredibly adorable as a chibi (and still look markedly like himself) - kudos! My favourite is the first one - I like how Stephen has made sure his suit matches his parasol. Such a fashion victim ;).

[erinptah]

Stephen could hardly allow Neil to out-nattily-dress him =3

Glad you like!

[colbertican.livejournal.com]

you had me at the first picture!! LOVEEEE. <3

[colbertican.livejournal.com]

haha, that last comment left no room for love for the other pics. These own my life. <3

[erinptah]

Awesome. So glad you like =3

[stellar-dust.livejournal.com]

These two are adorable whenever they get together, you're right on about how Stephen lights up!

Wonderful, wonderful pictures, as always! :D

[erinptah]

At some point I will stop trying to think up replies and just start posting ♥s.
