Yet another number of dubious importance, 11 11 11 (and variations such as 11 11 or 111) is the arc number of the post-scratch kids and the cherubs.
Appearances in Jailbreak
Edit
- Jailbreak restarted its story on page 111
(on the old MSPA website), and the scratched version of the Homestuck kids' universe was introduced
on 11/11/11 with a similar arc number.
Appearances as a date
Edit
- Act 6 of Homestuck began on November 11th, 2011 – that is, 11/11/11. Act 6 is also set on this date, which is written in this universe as 11.11.11 and called 2X3PRONG DAY (whatever that means).
- It's fitting that this should be the arc number for act 6, as it consists of six 1's.
- The updates on 01/11/12 culminate in Jane landing in a tree
when her computer explodes
after installing the Sburb client (or so she thought).
- Although almost certainly a coincidence, Karkat's first pesterlog
– and in fact, the very first pesterlog with a troll – occurred in an update released on 11/11/09. The update on 11/11/10 had another
log
with Jade and Karkat.
- A6A4 began
on 11/11/12. And ended on 11/11/12.
- (Or at least that's what the date on the site says. It actually appeared in the early hours Eastern time of 11/12/12).
- Jack's tally marks consist of
11 11 11, instead of the usual four. - The six bars in his jail cell window are also reminiscent of the sequence.
- A6A5A1 ended and A6A5A2 began on 1/11/13.
- Although just past midnight and technically on 11/12, Hussie posted a cherub-centric update on what was supposed to be 11/11/14, from here
to here
.
- The IRL official MSPA Snapchat posted a sequence of snaps about Jane Crocker being named chief executive of Crockercorp, and also involving Roxy and Calliope, on 11/11/2016.

When added together, they create 1111.

Connections to the Real World
Edit
- The popular video game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released on 11/11/11. The Elder Scrolls series has been referenced in Homestuck, most prominently as providing the basis for the Alternian letters of the alphabet. While the shared date could merely be coincidental, the description of the date as just the sort of numerical gimmick corporations love to exploit for their big releases
may have been an allusion specifically to Skyrim.
- Jacksepticeye's third and final Hiveswap: Act 1 video, posted on both the What Pumpkin Twitter and Tumblr, is exactly 1:11:11 long.
