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 (lets-fucking-go).

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.

    Honest question, is there a trend of Trans people using way way too much toilet paper when they use the bathroom? I don’t want to confront the person who I think is doing this for obvious reasons but they don’t even try to flush.

        Most cis men pee standing up and are generally gross enough to not care that their bare ass touches the toilet seat. Extreme overuse of toilet paper is generally a woman’s bathroom thing. This is awkward because someone has now fully transitioned and only now is the weird toilet paper thing happening. I could be wrong, I just don’t know how to deal with the issue. I need clean bathrooms so I can shitpost at work.

      Dammit, we’ve been found out. Clogging people’s toilets is part of the secret trans agenda but now the whole world knows.

          poopoo peepee

          Uh if I’m just peeing it’s never more than one sheet tbh… And most times I don’t even use any, Idk. I have no idea what the expected “norm” is though.

            My opinions are my own (and are probably wrong tbh)

            peepee

            Depending on comfort (influenced heavily but not dictated by anatomy) there are two standard tp sizes: the 4 sheet (2 if its 4ply) folded square, and the apricot sized ball. Wipe and dab as needed. Only one should be needed if done correctly.

            If you can do it with 0-1 squares and no leakage im super jelly

            poopoo

            The acceptable tp size is a length of 5±1 2ply sheets thats folded in half twice. Wipe, fold in half again, wipe. Repeat as neccessary. Some can squeeze an extra fold+wipe out of it, some cant.

              this is such a weird fuckin subject but lol whatever

              Uh sometimes I get leakage, but mostly I sit and squeeze all the pee out for way too long. Urethras suck it seems…

              This more or less matches my habits though, albeit sometimes I do 4 folded in half twice and then a wet wipe and then 3 folded in half, which I hope is fine(??) lol

                i cant believe im having this convo and its not with my child im teaching to go to the bathroom lol, but im here for it ^^

                Urethras do suck! I still have the original plumbing and tend to manually squeeze out whatevers left before using tp. (Years of tucking plus holding it all day at school have i think damaged some things and I cant squeeze it all out normally sadness

                sometimes I do 4 folded in half twice and then a wet wipe and then 3 folded in half, which I hope is fine(??) lol

                Unorthodox, but acceptable deng-salute

                All this talk has me asking who-must-go and i find that its me.

                  it's a weird subject but worth discussing I think? lol though

                  Oof does tucking actually damage stuff? That sounds kinda scary. “Holding it all day” though, death to western educational institutions frankly.

                    rollin with it oO°•o.

                    Idk if its the tucking or the holding or what, but if I dont actively manually squeeze things out it will leak out when I stand back up, and not a small amount omori-miserable maybe I just have shitty pelvic floor muscles? I am pretty sedentary…

                    bridget-smug thank you thank you ill be here all week

    • I barely use any TP. OTOH, my very cis roommate just blows through a roll. I’m pretty sure he uses like 80%+ of the household TP and there’s 3 of us. My mostly-cis brother also is conservative with TP.
