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.

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

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
