I Like Scans @doctor-eksray - Tumblr Blog

Because I’m the side blog of a homestuck fan, let me tell you about my fan troll

DOCTOR EKSRAY

A yellow blood troll with cool shades and a lab coat. He shoots X-ray beams from his eyes to scan things. But it can be used as a super deadly weapon if he ups the power.

His sign is GEMRA cos it looks kind of like an eye.

However his aspect isn’t mind, it’s hope. He’s a Seer of Hope.

He first realised he could use his psionics to create and interpret X-ray beams after an accident with a tungsten cube and super high voltage. The accident resulted in a huge release of X-rays and he realised he could see in the X-ray spectrum too.

Since then he has honed his psionics to produce X-rays.

He uses his powers to help other trolls treat their lusii if they have an accident. Because injured trolls often get culled he rarely gets to use his X-ray beams to help trolls, but he still X-rays their corpses because he likes learning anatomy.

His horns look like nubby lightning bolts.

Not a confession - more words on troll dimorphic trait acquisition First let me explain what the fuck that heading means. Trolls don't seem to be born with different biological sexes, and thus are indistinguishable on that basis - they are born monomorphic. However adult trolls display dimorphism, so the development of this trait occurs at some point in the lifecycle of a troll. Semi-canon info dumped by @/seedflap (or previously jerann), would imply the traits are kinda acquired. For anyone who doesn't want to trawl through hundreds of @/seedflap/jerann-mussel replies that are not well tagged (this blog on the other hand is great at tagging 😘), I'll summarise the explanations they gave (my thoughts will be in italics):

It appears that trolls typically have gendered puberty congruent with the sex of their lusus.

Trolls are capable of gendered puberty without a lusus, however lusus pheromones will typically override the biological pathways of the young troll hence the troll-lupus congruency.

In rare cases, a troll may not end up undergoing a gendered puberty that matches their lusus. (My assumption is trolls like Cirava have a rare troll condition which I will temporarily dub as Lusus Pheromone Insensitivity Syndrome (temporary cos acronym shouldn't contain the word PIS), which is effectively like not having a lusus to gender your puberty even though you do have a lusus).

Jade lusii are usually female bug creatures thus the overhwleming female phenotype predominance in Jades. Jades don't spend much time with the mother grub until they are cloistered (which I believe happens after troll puberty).

Trolls may be socialised towards their expected gender (their lusus's sex) from a young age.

Still unclear is whether trolls will sometimes try to live at a friend's hive to sway their puberty the way they want if their lusus doesn't match their gender identity. I would assume they do try, but that it's probably more complicated than just hanging out with a lusus of the right sex (blood caste and other things probably have an impact on lusus pheromone compatibility). But this could totally be used as a plot hook in a fan adventure.

In my last submission, I overhypothesised about individual troll genetics vs lusus pheromones - I thought that the troll genetics might fight back against the lusus pheromones, there was nothing I could find to support this. From the above, one could assume that Terezi's lusus being ensconced in a literal egg and unlikely to get pheromones onto Terezi likely had no impact on her eventual puberty. We can also assume similar about The Sufferer since he had no lusus. And this also explains why fuchsias appear to be exclusively female - because their one shared lusus is female. -DNAlfalfa🧬 Soz if you spot lusus being autocorrected to lupus, I think I caught them all, but maybe not.

thank you so much for compiling all this, and thanks for saying i tag the blog well!

Neat, I love learning about lore.

it’s annoying that this isn’t on the wiki, but I’m glad there’s always at least one person out there who will go and compile the data properly.

And I agree about the acronym not being great, but it’s neat that you made an acronym that’s similar to one for an intersex condition (Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome). To fix the poor acronym for the Lusus pheromone condition, you could just say it slightly backwards - Syndrome of Lusus Pheromone Insensitivity (SLPI)

That’s a thing we already do with a few real life medical diagnoses, like SIADH (Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone secretion).

Announcement: The Homestuck Team Reported our Discord. The Subreddit is Next.

Some excerpts:

Context: the reason this post was written is because screenshots have been leaked from the Official Homestuck Discord server showing that they are probably responsible for getting the unofficial server taken down, or at least conspired to do so. It is also clear that they have been attempting to mass report /r/homestuck and two other subreddits since February in an attempt to get them taken down too. There are a few other things shown in these screenshots which are immediately disturbing. We believe this to be a continuation of a pattern of behavior of legal intimidation and malicious interference towards Homestuck community spaces and members.

Andrew Hussie has a history of being litigious and over-controlling, with one example being forbidding art commissions based on Homestuck (which Vibri has since lied about, saying Hussie never wanted this to happen). This has escalated since the end of the comic into seeking total control over the fandom

As of 2026, they have begun discussing the weaponization of US police reports to silence fans who are not anonymous.

Please spread this and help us save one of the few remaining places of open fan discussion.

Good Evening, “Davekat-sucks” was a 76 month sociological study conducted by Harvard University. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.

If the allegations from the homestuck subreddit are true (they have screenshots), it’s super whack they weaponised the police against her.

Maybe it’s different wherever DKS lives, but surely a restraining order can be served on a person without police needing to attend. The involving of police given the whole ICE thing in the US.

Idk if DKS deserved a restraining order or whatever, but if we assume she did, then weaponising the police isn’t a reasonable way to do this.

EDIT: having seen more screenshots of DKS posts, I think they were definitely nasty and I’m thinking more that given the type of stuff they posted they most likely crossed into the territory of a restraining order being valid. That still doesn’t explain the need for police involvement.

I’m also unsure if shutting their blog down, was necessary when it could’ve been “if you post about Hussie again, then you get shut down” (but obviously, I’ve only seen snippets through leaked screenshots, so maybe they did try to be less drastic with an IF YOU DO X, THEN YOUR BLOG IS GONE. I’d like to assume that Hussie’s team were on the less drastic end of things, but I’ll wait to see if there’s any evidence either way.)
