Sm Skid's Dad - Tumblr Posts
You, my friend, are unfiltered evil. (affectionate)
Pelo and the rest of the people who make the show have set out guidelines for how to make the show, its characters, and the lore. There is a specific guideline that centres around Skid's dad's appearance, voice and backstory, and has all the key info about him that you need to know to understand his character, and therefore the end of the show.
Google Spooky Month Rule 34 for more information on the topic
Spooky Watch (a Spooky Month x Yo-Kai Watch au)
An idea first pondered by @crossover-enthusiast and actually "made" by me. This will involve both lore and hypothetical gameplay/structure.
The Premise
Due to (as of yet undefined) things his dad did, Skid naturally has the ability to see spirits, referred to as spooks.
He half-accidentally summons Moloch, who runs loose, in an effort to convince Pump the spirits he's seeing are real, as you could probably tell, Skid and Pump are less oblivious and somewhat more mature.
While trying to catch Moloch, the boys meet Eyes, who is the leader of all the spooks in town. Learning about what's happening, they gift Pump (as well as Roy and Kevin) a spooky watch (a visual cross between the yo-kai watch and the cult pendants) hoping to let humans and spooks better understand and befriend each other. Eyes is unaware that most spooks are going to use this "thinning of the veil" for their own ends.
After Moloch is dealt with Roy's parents and later mayor Evermore find out about the watches and form the cult in an effort to take and/or recreate the watches so they can enslave the spooks.
Spooks!
Moloch is mostly unchanged, with the exception of not having a lower body at all, as he's a molten gargoyle.
Dexter, specifically the Dexter Fella, is the one spook everyone can see, in the vane of Manjimutt from the anime, always being mistaken for a weird short man. But unlike Manjimutt, Dex intentionally scares people, just not for the reason he wants.
The actual Happy Fella and Sad Guy are also spooks, named Laughella and Gloomuy.
Ooga Booga is a spook that just wants to jumpscare people. In a hypothetical game, she would act like Babblong.
Frank is now Vanab, a van spook based on the toy van Frank from the Deadly Smiles credits. He would also act as the Spooky Watch Mirapo, except instead of teleporting you, he just picks you up and zooms you away.
The Thieves appear as the very yo-kai they were dressed as in the 2019 Halloween drawing by Pelo. Their goofy, reoccurring side villains.
Here Bob is Vealsin, a pig-devil spook who is obsessed with exotic food, an obsession he shares by inspiriting people. When the boys, Roy and Kevin all get to the abandoned Boys n' Grills where Bob declares them his dinner guests, then the eating rhythm game, and then the fight. Bob being a cultist is reflected in Vealsin willingly working with the mayor.
And lastly, SKIDAD! He appears from the mannequin after Moloch gets loose and acts as the Whisper. He looks like a sentient speech bubble.
This is a very real SM theory
What I've stumbled across this time is, I'll admit, completely batshit on the face of it. BUT, if you follow my flow of logic, I think you'll actually be more convinced than you'd expect
So, what is it that set my theorist mind off? Well, the character we knew we were meeting this episode, Aaron (which is apparently the name of Ross's dad in that model sheet)


We only see him twice (and no, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you, his tattoo changes what arm it's on between scenes) and in those scenes, he's mostly silent and is notably not paying attention to Jaune, despite her talking with their obviously distressed shared friend in the first scene and is separated from Jaune by the cinematography in the second scene.
From what we've seen of Aaron, both in this episode and the TT photos, he isn't very expressive, but he still shows his feelings through movement, or rather, a position in the photos, something absent in his present self.
So, what, if anything, lead to this seeming slight rift between Aaron and Jaune?
Well, we could assume it was something after Ross's birth, but could we narrow it down further? Yes, yes we can, mainly due to the first bomb I'm about to drop on you.
Jaune is a cult spy
Yes, I'm dead fucking serious. Let's look over the way the cult operates, shall we? They carefully monitor anything related to their plans while other members are on stand by, should something go wrong. How does this tie to Jaune?
Simple, she's the one keeping tabs on Lila, Ignacio does live closer, but is so abrasive, he could never get close enough to someone for intimate spying. Jaune on the other hand, as Lila's best friend, could theoretically keep tabs on certain aspects of Lila's life.
The next obvious question is why. Why would Jaune spy on Lila for a cult? Well, she wouldn't. She would, however, keep a close eye on her friend if someone else close to said friend, like say, said friend's husband, expressed concern for her emotional well being.
I know I'm probably losing some of you now, but this is where we get to another insanely counter intuitive yet convincing claim.
Jaune isn't spying on Lila because Lila's husband asked her, she's spying on Lila because she doesn't want Lila to know that-
Jaune had an affair with Lila's husband
I KNOW, I KNOW, I sound like Dale from King of the Hill right now, but I swear to you, this will all click together by the end.
Picture this, Jaune, a heavy drinker, is over at her friend's house one night when Lila's husband starts coming onto her and you know what happens, this goes from a one off event, to a semi-regular ritual for the pair. Some time later, he tells Jaune that he's worried Lila might catch on, and encourages her to carefully pay attention to any sudden mood shifts and.... share them wit ha trusted associate of his.
So, now that I've established the logic of this happening and that it will likely come into focus at some point, but what does this have to do with Aaron's detachment and how could it come into play?
It's not just that Aaron knows Jaune cheated and will reveal it to Lila, no, it's so much worse.
But first, I have to dispel some fanon for a moment, despite how popular the concept is, we have no in or out of series proof that Ross dyes his hair, the only photo of him we see is him and Aaron with Ross looking just as he does at present.
Why do I bring this up, oh my poor unsuspecting friends, it should be clear. If Ross has naturally black hair, that would mean-
Ross matches the genetic profile of Jaune and Skidad's biological child
And there you have it, the dark underbelly at back of the newest instalment in our beloved Halloween series.
And, if by some chance, you still don't believe this theory of Ross and Skid being half-brothers to be at the very least valid, well then, I have something that will blow your fucking mind.......
.........
And I'm not telling you cause it's 'Pril Fools Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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
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
SM hot take tag game
The rules are simple, put 3 SM opinions that will have you like this

And then tag 3 people
I'll start:
Susie is a much bigger jerk in canon than in fanon, most people don't notice it because of her short screen time
Not enough people seriously acknowledge the possibility that Skid's dad may be centuries old
Tender Treats is a better viewing experience than Hollow Sorrows on the first watch
@crossover-enthusiast, @interdimensionalvoid, @spookyscaryskidnpump
Spooky Month Library AU
In a surprising turn of events, I'm not dead! And what is more, I've recently concocted a new AU to share with you all!
And before we get started, a special thanks to @crossover-enthusiast and @spookyscaryskidnpump / @woomy-wormy for helping develop this AU
The Premise
A library is briefly tasked with storing the mysterious Starborn Manuscript which is in truth a spell book. The librarian unknowingly reads a spell from it which leads to characters from the library's books coming to life as tiny paper people at night.
The Basic Lore
When close to the book of their origin, characters have access so abilities they have in the book but otherwise can't use.
Characters can be "tainted" by and sometimes reflect misdeeds of their authors.
Characters who are directly related (parents, grandparents, siblings) in SM share a book of origin. Other relatives are from different books by the same author.
The characters believe Eli the librarian, the only human they've caught brief glimpses of, to be their god.
Characters only come to life within the confines of the library.
Before we move on, let's appreciate this artwork curtesy of @woomy-wormy

The Characters and their books (some of them, anyway)
Skid, Lila and Skidad- Leads in a book from a kids' horror anthology wherein the father of the family is replaced by a monster, as the real dad doesn't directly appear in the story, the on that's brought to life is the monster.
Pump, Susie and Mr. Wonder- The main family in another book in the same anthology as Skid's family.
Roy, Carmen, Richard and Garcia- Carmen and Richard are the leads in a fantasy romance novel, Garcia orchestrates an elaborate scheme so Richard can be with Carmen and Roy is introduced into the story after a timeskip.
Ross, Jaune and Aaron- Ross is the protagonist of a cyberpunk YA dystopian novel
Robert and Radford- The leads in a lighthearted slice of life story.
John- Lead in a noir story.
Jack- Supporting character in a different noir story.
Rick- The main character of a newspaper strip which has a compendium in the library, speech bubbles appear when he talks.
Dexter and Michelle- A reclusive family from a gothic horror novella.
Hobomen- Tankmen doodles on a torn off and wadded up page of a student's notebook that rolled under a shelf
Bob- He's just a normal chef in his book of origin, but his author's recently outed violent tendencies have lead to him becoming much more violent than his book counterpart.
More characters to come soon, so stay tuned!
Cursed roblox screenshots but it’s spooky month characters, I’ll redraw these if I have time and feel like doing it (TW: g*ns mentions of death and mentions of cult related things under the cut)
