Toyosatomimi no Miko is a character in the Touhou Project series introduced in its 13th installment, Ten Desires.
Miko was once Prince Shoutoku, a Japanese leader in the 600s known for promoting Buddhism and streamlining the Japanese government. In the Touhou lore, she was visited by Taoist hermit Seiga Kaku, who had heard about Miko’s longing for immortality. Seiga introduced her to Taoism, but she rejected it as a religion unfit for placating an entire country. She was intrigued by its promise of immortality, however, and privately converted to it, advocating for Buddhism to keep Japan stable. After drinking an “immortality elixir” (mercury sulfide), however, she was forced to let go of her body and become a supernatural hermit like Seiga, notably taking on the form of a woman, making her a canonically trans character (
).
After convincing a hermit from a rival clan (Mononobe no Futo) to sleep without decaying, Miko followed in suit, waiting for a time where a Taoist Japan would revive her in search of guidance. However, Buddhist monks were able to keep her mausoleum sealed, and the legends surrounding her were slowly brushed off- which led to her transportation into Gensokyo, where the folklore of old is a reality of everyday life.
When she awoke in Gensokyo, it was right after Buddhist monk Byakuren Hijiri opened her own temple, however, leading to a surge of divine spirits across the realm, setting up the events of Ten Desires.
What look like headphones on her are canonically earmuffs- Shoutoku was allegedly able to discern between ten questions asked at once, an ability carried by Miko (although with her enhanced abilities, she can also analyze each person and determine their inner desires (thus the title of the game))- although it means her hearing is highly sensitive and has to be muffled to prevent pain.

lets be honest, its just all flirt at this point :3
That deck looks so cool! I really like the abstract ones, and theres an abrahamic one i kind of want, but really would prefer one based on more of a feminist midrash or something. Right now ive just got the basic rider-white (spelling?) deck.
This is what keeps me away from trying to find a shul. That and judaism having some really interesting beautiful stuff right alongside some horrible bullshit. But its really dialectical imo, and finding people following the rabbinic tradition to e.g. reinterpret devarim in a trans and gender expansive affirming way is so beautiful. Sometimes i feel like my beliefs are too specific and weird to find any group that fully expresses them or can join me in my weirdness.
Me neither, but also all the furries ive met have been absolutely wonderful people ^^
Darlin i bet youre adorbs in your ears, cute little kitty
Theres a company in the US called sock dreams that ships worldwide and makes sizing-inclusive thigh highs :3 they also make long thigh highs, like, on me they go all the way up, and i have really long legs (srsly, finding clothing is hard).
Not drowning gang stay winnin :3 i used to do it a lot, i would go on week long trips, camping on beaches, eating lots of MREs. Kayaking is superior to backpacking tho cause you can bring a lot more stuff ^^
Yeah, ive been struggling with burnout on and off for years now. Dropped out of school and just kinda drifting right now, trying to recover functionality and address some mental health issues (anxiety, potential adhd, potential bipolar/cyclothymia).
I just like doing things! I can share knowledge and practice in exchange for headpats tho!
Yeah! I like programming (kinda) and the aforementioned photography and knitting. I want to solder up a sphynx, i play music (but have no one to play with right now
)
My walk was really good! Except for the heat. The heat is evil and needs to leave. I miss walking home and its 15 minus degrees in my skirt and cardigan, the cold just speaks to me.
What about you lovely? Hows your evening (i assume evening cause youve mentioned finland several times) going? What hobbies other than gay slop are you interested in?
spoiler
rider-waite deck yeah, this is my current deck and love how they married simplicity and abstract art into a beautiful deck. what kind of abrahamic deck have you been looking at?so you're jewish? this is going to be possibly really weird, but like they just released a choice of games, game that's about trying to save your jewish village from an upcoming pogrom and it's packed to the brim with yiddish, and stuff from the books that I'm too goy to remember
. but that's so cool 
, wish it would be easier to find people who try to turn religions more inclusive honestly.
nothing against furries, i admire their convictions, but i definitely can't afford a full fur suit, and don't even want one really
yeah thicc and tall, don't forget
yeah been using sock dreams, but i have to pay customs to ship to finland and it's expensive when combined with shipping 
it took them a while to find the correct dosage of depression meds for my anxiety and depression, but they finally got it. you'll get through this, sweetie.
god you're just so multitalented, it's crazy. all i know is make food, bake, eat hot chip and read gay slop. i did got to school for 3 years that basically had programming and pc usage as a big part of them, but I remember nothing
tell me about it! the evil regime of the sun has had it's day, it's time for the autumn revolution already!
~heeeee~
yeah situated in finland probably for the long haul, doesnt seem like things are getting better in southern europe and....yeah. getting kinda eepy it's 1am.
i do like baking a lot still, even though my job almost crushed it out of me, i just love the whole process, of how you can see the bread through all of the phases and hold it in your hand and know that you made this. one of the best feelings. otherwise i'm just into reading and gaming, hopefully i can manage to get exercising in on a more permanent basis again soon. i dunno i think im kinda boring honestly
::: spoiler :3
Thats really pretty! I love black+white and monotone images, they just speak to me more.
The abrahamic deck i was looking at a year ago, idk if i can find it easily again. It was black cards with white lineart of abrahamic figures, e.g. moses.
Short answer: yes. Jewish answer: it depends on how you look at it. Like, i havent been to shul since I was young, but have beliefs rhat line up with it, plus the cultural everything, idk, its a big complicated topic lol.
Yeah i saw that! It looked really cool! Ive been very very slowly learning yiddish, but dont have anyone to speak it with. Plus the people who speak yiddish today tend to be hassidim :/
Its so hard. The people who stay in it often are bound to it close enough that any movement is small. Judaism has a lot of room for reinterpretation and i think that helps, but its still hard to find people.
I wont
I know the struggle of thigh highs and height, im like 195, and often find things i want that just wont fit me the way I want
Ty, its hard finding mental health help here
Im not sure, you might have to pat my head and figure out the math :3
Those are so cool tho!!! Like i can make bread but im not a baker, i can only do the basic stuff. Idk, i feel like im okay to good at many things, but incapable of being great at anything.
Awww cute eepy kitty
Im so glad theres an 'almost' in that sentence <3
its so important to have hobbies and joy-giving activities!
I disagree
i love hearing about you, tell me more about baking 
(or tomorrow if youre all eeeeeepy ^^
spoiler
it's honestly criminal how israel has mostly destroyed the language, by getting everyone on hebrew. the language is beautiful and doesnt have it's roots in a settler colony.
where is here, if i can ask?
oh i dunno, you're making butterflies flutter in me in a pretty great way to be honest
going to be visiting some family for the rest of the week to touch grass (
), so i won't be at the pc, and probably not online a lot but I'll hopefully be able to talk some more tomorrow morning atleast. I'll tell you about how I found a soviet city loaf recipe online and it became my favourite type of bread to bake and eat 
This cute eepy kitty is going to bed though
. You have a wonderful day, sweetheart.

Sleep well darlin, i hope this night brings you sweet dreams
