Wow, can you believe that just a few weeks ago we'd gather around the campfire and watch the latest (and usually saddest) adventures of our favorite surrogate father/daughter duo? With season 1 of The Last of Us finally concluded there is a hole where my heart used to be.

However, to fill that void between now and a confirmed season 2, TLOU star Bella Ramsey has posted some wonderful behind-the-scenes photos on Instagram of her co-star Pedro Pascal to celebrate the actor's 48th birthday.

The set photos show the fun and humorous nature of Pascal, who plays Joel Miller in the show. The standout photo for sure is Pascal posing in the middle of the woods with those goofy pair of sunglasses.

Ramsey wasn't the only celebrity to show their appreciation for Pascal on his special day. Ethan Hawke, who most recently starred in Glass Onion, also gave Pascal a shout-out on Instagram. And he even got an invitation to the Spider Society, thanks in part to a fantastic illustration posted by the Across the Spiderverse Twitter account.

As The Last of Us celebrates his birthday, we hope he has a better day than Joel did.
