Just noticed this about Terezi's lusus:
The arc numbers are hidden in the name PYR4LSP1T3, even in the right order. Perhaps I'm late to the game, but it wasn't on the wiki, so...

Hunh? But it's like... right there.
EDIT: No, the name of her lusus is definitely Pyralspite.

Oh. Huh. My bad.

I had to doublecheck the name when I saw it spelled this way, too. For some reason, I thought it was Pyralsprite.
I suppose this is because I've only read Act 5 through once. I need to reread Homestuck fully again...

...wow.

It's the entire idea of her only replacing A's, I's and E's that those turn into 4, 1 and 3 respectively.
I think Conover's main point was that PYR4LSP1T3's name contains all three of the letters, and it has them in the 'proper' order (4,1,3). It is an interesting situation, quite possibly intentional, but also quite possibly circumstantial. Hussie's good at that.

I'm thinking circumstantial. There are too many other collision points with the name Pyralspite already.
