One of my favorite gimmicks in Homestuck is its use of significant numbers. The 413s, the 612s, the 1025s that pop up as a result of 413 + 612; and the 11s.


I am surprised no one has brought this up yet, but it is already guaranteed 8 and 1 are the next significant numbers.



Now I go into speculation territory:


- File A(10)(8) might be relevant. Bit of an odd file name, right?

- Could 15 years = 8 or 10 "syzygic recitals?"

- Could the "several thousand tidal turns" of life Ly'lac lived through be eight thousand title turns?

- The 01 in 8:01 could be flipped around to be 10. Possible reference to SHURB having 10 players? (Delta kids + Omega kids = 10)

- Perhaps satyrs will debut on October 8th (10/8) or January 8th (1/8)?

- Ly'lac would have to enter the medium within 8 minutes and 1 second.
