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.

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::: spoiler spoiler
It really is. The whole idea of israel as a state is fucked from both a religious and ethical standpoint. And like, they ignored and actively worked against diaspora languages like yiddish and ladino, but they also fucked up hebrew too! Modern hebrew is super different from biblical hebrew, and in a bad way imo. Hebrew was a semitic language, but modern hebrew (i dont speak it so take this with salt) is almost more of a european language in its grammar, just with semitic word construction.
Im in burgerland and its not amazing. Also the burgers are really expensive.
i really like this ^^ its been a while since i was flirting with someone and im having a really nice time

Sleep well eepy kitten, talk to you tomorrow
