A QUEST OF FUTILITY THEN.

Please keep coming back to and updating it.

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' universe.

Appearances in Jailbreak

• Jailbreak restarted its story on page 111, and the scratched version of the Homestuck kids' universe was introduced on 11/11/11 with a similar arc number.

Appearances as a date

• 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.
• A6A6A4 was posted in its entirety on 1/11/14.
• 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.

• In [S] Dirk: Synchronize., Dirk's Cruxtruder is activated, and the countdown starts at 11:11.
• Certain post-scratch trolls - specifically the three at the end of the hemospectrum - have numbers that are not related to their typing quirks, but instead their points in time when responding to memos, among other things (Gamzee, 420; Eridan, 311; Feferi, 380). When added together, they create 1111.

  • Furthering their connection to the number, Feferi and Meenah both employ emoticons with 38s (representing their crowns and goggles) which equals 11 when 3 is added to 8.
• Eridan's affiliated number, 311, obviously represents three 11s, just like his fellow sea dweller.

Connections to the Real World

• 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.
