special thanks to malizma, whose word on the command editor, amongst other mods, majorly sped up my ability to release this track.
special thanks to jade, who encouraged me to finish this track after two separate multi-month breaks.
special thanks to jamie, whose long talks about transness and medical gatekeeping in Europe influenced several parts of this track. seeing you start to move out on your own and medically transition was another major motivator for me to finish this track.
special thanks to UTD and punkband for being cool + chill people to hang out with while I made it!!!!!!!

This information shook me to the core.
Christianity and queerness are bound together by a kind of spiritual necrophilia - a love for those who are dead and gone. For so long, as a young teen, Sufjan's music was a way for me to mediate those connections. I am no longer a Christian, but that love for the dead remains.

Life is not linear. Healing is not linear. Through each setback, through each tenuous step forward, through each detour and each victory, I will be there for you. I will sit with you through each twist and turn of our meandering path.
Disclaimer: I am aware that one of the written-out lyrics in the video is incorrect -- this was an intentional mishearing of the lyric that i chose to wrote out in order to serve my own artistic goals. It's not an uncommon thing in the line rider community!

Often, we think of fire as something quick, something fleeting, a powerful force which might spring up at any moment. But fire is slow, too, creeping beneath the surface. Fire is embers, toxic fumes, greenhouse gasses. And it is trauma, it is our generational systems of violence. And one day, the things that burn within us will crack open the earth and spill out as flame as ash as memories.
"It's not our fault!" we will say. "Please spare us!"
But we will still have to live in the world that fire has made.

Love yourself

Every day I wake up with the knowledge that my queerness, my transness, is a gift, something that I actually get to live out and that has a future. Like the art around me and the presence of my friends, I treasure this knowledge with the desperate passion of being alive.

All the people who have supported Tulips being gay over the years.
"The absolutely aggravating experience of watching other people make art in line rider (which is the worst art program)."
Collab with the flesh-having @branchesjade3638, during the two days we met each other in Toronto in May 2023.
She made me a mother's day zine. I got her a plane ticket to the Netherlands. She got herself a piece of clothing at the queer market. I wrote a poem for myself about what we mean to each other. This is one thing among many that we have made with each other, and for each other.

Lyrics:
My pal's name is Foot Fling
He always likes to quirk
My pal's name is Foot Fling
I never find him scening
I go to his track
Open the file
Green lines are gone
Foot Fling don't scene here no more
My pal Foot Fling
Always likes to quirk
My pal Foot Fling
Now he has no scenery
Where will Foot Fling go
What will Foot Fling draw
Oh, Foot Fling
I wish you could scene more
I've looked here, I've looked there
I've looked everywhere
Oh, Foot Fling
Why can't I find green?
Foot Fling, what are you doing?
Foot Fling, why won't you scene your tracks?
Foot Fling, Oh Foot Fling
Wherever you are
I want you to come scene with me
I don't have time to quirk
I have things to draw
I have to go scene
Oh, Foot Fling, where are you?
If Foot Fling didn't like to quirk so much
He would still draw green like such
Foot Fling, please answer me
I know where you are
You're in this discord server
Foot Fling, please come to us
Foot Fling, now that you're here
Won't you come scene
Foot Fling, promise me this
That you will never again quirk
Psst! This is a joke version of my track "My Pal Foot Foot". Please watch the original + the whole September Trilogy here: youtube.com/watch?v=h6PaFt7_toY

Thanks to Conundrumer for helping with the export of this track.
Mount Eerie's "Voice in Headphones" is a piece of music directly inspired by and ABOUT another piece of music--Bjork's Undo: youtube.com/watch?v=iyh0imXACK8
How do artists show care towards one another across the distances that art ostensibly tries to bridge? I am still figuring this out. Like "Voice in Headphones" this track is a meditation on and interpretation of another person's artwork--specifically, that of Jade's line rider work. And in the spirit of her artmaking practice, this track is also dedicated to and intended for specific people in my life. You know who you are. I love you. I want to figure out what it means to build long-term (lifelong???) community together.
Worked on by Ava and Ember. Description by S.

note: it is HIGHLY recommended that you watch this track in 60fps, as the viewing experience is deeply dependent on the playback speed. i would suggest that you do not watch this track on mobile.

This track is kind of a spiritual sequel to my track "BELLS": youtube.com/watch?v=kbxtgggGyKI
BELLS was the sixth track I ever made, and it was the first one that I felt was artistically cohesive and accomplished something interesting in line rider. To celebrate two years of making things in line rider, I wanted to dwell in the aesthetic space "BELLS" carved out for a little while again, and to reflect on what that that track means to me today. The people who make and enjoy line rider tracks have come to mean so much to me, and I am grateful how this community of artists has help me heal and grow in ways I could not have even understood just two years ago, back when I thought of Line Rider more as a one-off hobby that I would someday soon abandon rather than what looks to be a a crucial part of this chapter in my life's story. Thank you for watching, and thank you for existing.

i. "my pal foot foot"
In 1968, Austin Wiggin, forced his three daughters--Helen, Dot, and Betty--to start a rock band.
Austin chose their name for them. He called them “The Shaggs.”
He pulled Helen, Dot, and Betty out of High School, gave them instruments, and told them to make music.
Songs like “My Pal Foot Foot” were the result.
When I listen to their songs all I can think about is how they were made by abused children.
That the music was part of their abuse.
ii. "know thy self"
I will grow into something so repulsive to you that you will recoil from me. And in that moment of your weakness, I will make my escape.
iii. "on a day like this one"
September reassembles herself.

"on a day like this one" includes a quotation from from Anais Nin. This is the full quotation:
"Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death."
Thank you to Ethan Li for their development of various line rider mods. Thank you to Conundrumer for developing Line Rider and adding various features that made this work possible.
Special thanks to my mother, who I quote several times in these tracks. You were a major contributing factor to the creation of this piece.
Various elements of these tracks are pulled from my life, but they are not 1-to-1 to my own experiences. September is a character and her story is different from mine.
I may write a bit about the process of creating these tracks in the future. If I do so, a link to that document will be posted here.
yet another track for my flopquirk arc
thanks to conundrumer for gravity
This track is the third and final part of part of the September trilogy, which includes "My Pal Foot Foot" and "Know Thyself". I strongly recommend you watch those tracks first. You can watch the full playlist here:

I plan on releasing a video collecting all three parts in the near future.

Thank you to Ethan Li for the helpful review of "foot foot" which helped inspire this track.
This track includes a quotation from from Anais Nin. This is the full quotation:
"Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death."
Special thanks to my mother, who has been a major contributing factor to the creation of the series, and who I quote in this track.
I consider "Either" an Omnitrack of a heretical sort; the idea of an Omnitrack is kind of pointless and vain after the release of the finished version of Omniverse II, which is kind of the point! And yet I also wanted to incorporate different movement types in order to vary up the hisotrical Omnitrack repertoire of enshrined skills: along with manuals, manuquirk, alt quirk, georgio-style quirk, xy, and flings, "either" also incorporates "emotional flatsled", remount quirk, and offsled. Intentional omissions include kramuals and gigaquirk/10pcs. Sections are also combined heterogeneously, undermining the historical notion of omniquirk being made up of distinct "sections", in this track's small and insignificant way.
The final section of this track includes a new rider state that was discovered by me (!!!) while playing around with gravity during the development of Surreal!st Movement, pt 1. If the sled is in fakie and Bosh is in a specific position, she will continually try to remount but be unable to, creating a new stable position continually locked in the "remounting" state. This "remount fakie" is a pretty weird state to put the rider in, and its peculiar bounciness, ability to have bosh sled only on her hands and feet (a "hofmanual" /s), and relative fragility made it a good fit for the end of this track. My discovery of this position represents to me the still-unexplored horizons of movement left in line rider, and is a personal culmination of my investigations into janky movement so far.
This is technically the beta for this track. A scened version of "Either" will be released as a follow up, and will consist of my personal investigations into old-school (pre music-sync) line rider scenery.

it's called lacroix because it's nothing haunted by the ghost of something interesting
note: this does not use editing or 10pcs. this track takes advantage with a rendering glitch that occurs when multi-riders + setcustomriders are used in conjunction, using an invisible sled and bosh remounting this invisible sled from another rider.

Unfinished Rabid Squirrel Project
Special thanks to:
David Liu for developing Line Rider, in particular for the development of color lines which were released during the making of this track.
Ethan Li for continuing development of line rider mods, especially the polygon and scale-transform tools.
Banky for teaching me layer automation and writing up some helpful code to allow me to input automation code in a human-readable way.
Bevibel Harvey and Jade for having various helpful discussions with me about identity and the mind that ultimately deeply influenced the meaning of this track.
Everyone at the LRAC for being very hyped up and kind about this track, and encouraging me to actually finish it. I really didn't think I was going to finish this monster, but I did, somehow, thanks to all of you.
I will grow into something so repulsive to you that you will recoil from me. And in that moment of your weakness, I will make my escape.

Special thanks to my mother, who I quote several times in the track. You were a major contributing factor to the creation of this piece.
I dreamt about you last night (but pink in the night)
But not the way you look (but pink in the night)
The way you sound, the art you create (but pink in the night)
Your eagerness, your curiosity (but pink in the night)
I always forget what you look like (but pink in the night)
Please keep asking me questions (but pink in the night)
I love you and your questions (but pink in the night)

Thanks to Ethan Li for their advanced scale rotate tool and sketching advice, which helped me draw the hand correctly and unified the style of this piece, respectively.
Thanks to my friends and loved ones. This has been a weird and difficult year for me. What I know is that connection to other people is what has kept me afloat.
In 1968, Austin Wiggin, forced his three daughters--Helen, Dot, and Betty--to start a rock band.
Austin chose their name for them. He called them “The Shaggs.”
Austin believed wholeheartedly in a prophecy predicting that his daughters would become famous musicians.
He pulled Helen, Dot, and Betty out of High School, gave them instruments, and told them to make music.
The result was the Shaggs' only studio album, “Philosophy of the World.”
Songs like “My Pal Foot Foot” were the result.
...
When I listen to their songs all I can think about is how they were made by abused children.
That the music was part of their abuse.
