Ok yall, we ALL KNOW about 413, 612, 1025, 1111, blah blah. but there's little things about them that I think are fun. tell me if I'm missing anything guys. most of these I figured out myself but some I got from a yt vid.
413:
John and Janes bdays, the start of the comic, the end of the comic, its a story about 4 kids who are all 13 years old, random events happen in 413 amounts of time (like the frog temple landing 413 million years ago), Dave sends Terezi 413 thousand(?) boonbucks, there is 4 suits of cards and 13 ranks, Hussie was rumored to live in the area code 413 well making homestuck, the albums on band camp are $4.13,
612:
12 trolls who are all 6 sweeps old, their game time according to the memo is 612 hours, uhh idk any more
1025:
413+612 = the trolls and kids uniting, cascade stuff.
rails b4 pails!!
:O3
108 / 801 is the special number of Beyond Canon. We see it a bunch in little timestamps for messages, the time on Ly'lac's computer, the page number when we get her name, as well as updates happening on 8/01 and 10/8, specifically Beyond Canon returning on 10/8/23
I made a thread on 801/108 and i correctly predicted that satyrs will debut last Wednesday. predicting that was so fun :D

314 also appears a decent amount. It is mostly in Act 5 Act 2, and usually has to do with Vriska or Terezi.
I understand All of the time travel in Homestuck. All of it.
Most (maybe all?) of the trolls have an associated number, some more obvious than others. The one that I like to bring up is Eridan's being 311, which is apparently because of the emote it makes when the "11" part is in romanumerals: 3XI ... It's also a date in March...
Actually, I decided to check a couple wiki pages on the ones I didn't know off the top of my head and it seems it is all of them.
Aradia - 0
Tavros - 1
Sollux - 2
Karkat - 612
Nepeta - 33
Kanaya - 6
Terezi - 413
Vriska - 8
Equius - 100
Gamzee - 420
Eridan - 311
Feferi - 380
As for the 612 origin: most people attribute this to Karkat's birthday, ie the start of Hivebent being 6/12/10, but it was also actually the day Bard Quest began, on 6/12/07. I believe this was the first original content made for MSPA, since Jailbreak (although posted the week prior) was just a mirror from a forum. So it's kind of MSPA's birthday too.

Nepeta’s number is the atomic number for arsenic. The digits of 413 add up to 8. If Scorpio is the 8th symbol, Libra is 7th; the numbers in Terezi’s code (H34DS) add up to 7. The 1 is missing from that, but Tavros has it in his code (t1ck), even though it’s not his typing quirk, because he is the 1st troll from the bottom if you count Aradia as 0 and Sollux as 2.
Troll names have 6 and 6 letters, just like Andrew Hussie. Hivebent started on 6/12, so it became a story about 12 6 sweep olds; therefore 6 sweeps must equal 13 years. This makes a sweep 2.13 years. It also means that 6/12/11 occurred exactly 1 sweep after 4/13/09.
This is some straight up delirious biznasty, Dawg!!
Something no one mentioned: Jade and Jake's birthday are the 1st of December, Dave and Dirk's are on the 3rd of december and Rose and Roxy's birthday are on the 4th of december. They make up another reference to 413 !
Also the Cherubs are 11 units old (whatever that means) and two people in one self (1/1) so this can be a reference to 1111
Another thing is the letters Terezi replaces in her leetspeak are specifically A I E with 4 1 3

oh my god the nepeta thing. how did I never realize that?? I started writing this post WELL SITTING IN FRONT OF A PERIODIC TABLE. the shame...

:O3
yes there are indeed numbers in homestuck
bigassbuttfart leave your windows unlocked tonight you fucker
rails b4 pails!!
:O3
yeah yeah whatever
Another elemental one can be found in Ye Olde Romspec: Vriska becomes infatuated with two Breath players (John, Tavros) because the atomic number of Oxygen is 8. (Similarly, but non-numeric, Kanaya has a moth mom and is drawn to Light players Vriska and Rose). The alpha kids are all tied to Noble Gases (because of their inert/Null Session) but I can't think of any uses of the corresponding numbers off the top of my head.... maybe Jane is Helium (2) because the alpha kids are the second human group/session?
Couple more that can get lost on archival readers:
- 11/11/11 is called "2x3 Prong Day" because it could be interpreted both as "two prongs, three times" (11 11 11) or "three prongs, two times" (HIC's Trident). (This is also the same day Skyrim came out, feel old yet?)
- Vriska has 8 dice with 8 sides, leading to a total of 8^8 effects. As Doc Scratch jokes about at one point, if you substitute one of the eights for a common variable like Y, you'd get 8^y , which looks like Hella Jeff's face. Also the result for 8^8, ie the total number of possibilities for Vriska's dice to land on, is 16,777,216 , which has the lucky 777, a completed backwards 612, and most of another backwards 612. But this is just math, how could Hussie have planned that unless...
- Someone already mentioned the trolls have 6+6=12 names, but it works for the kids too: all their first names are 4 letters, their last names can be *either* 6 or 7, 6 + 7 = 13
6 7
Sorry, I had to.
I understand All of the time travel in Homestuck. All of it.
pat no. i am SICK!!!! OF 6 7!!!!!
