My daughter is a huge fan of The Last of Us video game. You may have seen my photos a few years ago of us in Seattle as she cosplayed Ellie at some of the famous locations.
What I haven’t shared is these photos we took in our backyard about two years ago of her and her dad. He’s not one to cosplay, but she talked him into it. It seems like Father’s Day is the perfect excuse to share these.
A few notes:
- These are BB guns in our backyard
- I’m sure you can see how much fun they are having recreating scenes from the game
- My photography and editing skills have definitely improved, but I still love these
- If you haven’t played the game, my daughter got us all to play it and it’s fabulous. A wonderful story full of representation and complex relationships. The show…not so much 🙂
Happy Father’s Day to my husband and my own dad (see the last photo for a cute one of us).

Bet you were nervous for #2! We don’t have that word here – cosplay. But I can guess.

I thought cosplay was a universal word, but now I’m realizing it’s just a mashup of “costume” and “play.”
I wasn’t nervous for any of these because they are old BB guns and we don’t even have any pellets!

Thanks! It was fun to do and we are talking about do another shoot now that she’s the age of Ellie at the start of the second game.

That would be fun to see. Just the two of them or would you add others from the cast?

Probably just the two of them. I’m thinking maybe the throwback museum scene could be fun, and maybe the scene when they are having coffee (heartbreaking). Probably not THE scene, and obviously only the start of the game.

All Jackson Hole. Definitely. Although I can see you getting someone zombified for the hotel scene. 🙂🧟♂️

That would be so fun! But definitely not anything to do with the golf club (sobs into my hands). Oh, and happy Father’s Day to you!!
