Can i just share that he seems to have the same square-y side-bangs (? Idk how to call them) and long oval face that Lila has? Would it be too far fetched to think that this might be Lila's dad?? Since we know about her mom but not much about her dad.

I am probably wrong, but the only other thing I can think about is that Lila willingly destroyed Skiddad's face in every picture he appears in, except this one, where it was destroyed by time itself since it's an old photo. I feel like that could mean it's not Skiddad?? If it was, Lila would've torn off his face herself. I dunno I might be overanalyzing stuff at this point

WAIT LET THEM COOK

YOURE ONTO SOMETHING WITH THE MOM THING

I POINTED OUT BEFORE THAT THE PHOTO WASNT DELIBERATELY DESTOYED BY LILA (until she saw Bob) MEANING???? MMAYHAPS THE PERSON WASNT SKIDDAD

ohmygod im biting at the bars of my enclosure

It's very odd to me that she wouldn't destroy the picture herself if that really was Skiddad! I mean, we've seen she clearly HATES HIM by this point, and she basically tracked down every single picture of him to rip his face off of them. But she clearly remembered having this specific picture, because when Skid asked Lila about what she used to do on Halloween as a kid, Lila immediately brought this picture up. Also she had easy access to that album, I don't think she would overlook something like that while she was destroying every last bit of memory of her husband.

We know that Lila was left alone with her mom since very young, cause we have some pictures of her as a child and Grandma, but no pictures of her dad at all. And also! Y'know how in Spooky Month characters designs, children usually have traits from both their parents (ex. Jaune, Aaron and Ross being a mix of the two)?

Lila just got her mom's hair color, so this means she must've gotten her square-y hair from her dad. And also, in this picture she looks older than when in the picture with Bob (she looks pre-teen-ish??? Like, ten?? Eleven?), so it's totally possible for that to have been her dad, who later on died/left/disappeared/whatever, before she became a teenager.

I think the lack of Skid and Lila Family Lore might actually be diving me insane.

Wow that's me

She could make her own TV show

“Now playing, ‘Ghost Roommates!’ Tale of a young woman haunted by the ghosts of her town, who only she can see!”

“(Spoiler Alert: She’s a necromancer, and one of those ghosts is revealed to be *drum roll* her dad!”

She has her own house rules and everything

"Google: how to make ghosts pay rent"

I think that as a society we moved on way too fast from that one Sr Pelo tweet that implied that Simon/Skiddad does NOT love or care for Lila in the slightest

Their minds are weak, and weak minds must retreat from the slightest evidence of a truth they fear.

So, yeah, let's get more fan content of him being manipulative and super scummy

THAT'S HOW I'VE BEEN CHARACTERIZING HIM SINCE FOREVER! like this. Cold, manipulative guy that's very condescending towards his family and has a bunch of second motives for everything he does.

I don't have Twitter. Does anyone have a screenshot of the tweet or something?

"How nice that they think Dad cares about Lila"

He's just a girlboss

"yes! Skid is everything to him!"

To answer your question, apparently Dad DOES care about Skid a lot!
