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.

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
maybe I just have shitty pelvic floor muscles? I am pretty sedentary…
spoiler
Ohhhhhh, okay yeah I thought that was normal, or maybe I have bad pelvic floor strength too, I am also somewhat sedentary. Shit fuckin sucks
Good, I enjoy your posting
spoils of spoiłar
Srsly im pretty insecure and having reinforcement/validation that im not just bugging the shit out of everyone is really nice
Damn right. Im trying to turn it around, go on a short walk every day. But its haaaaaaaaaaaard
spoilt
YEAH
I know I worry about that shit myself, so I try to tell people when I like their chatter and whatnot. I’m also always trying to encourage my comrades to infodump cuz that shit slaps 
Ooh a walk everyday sounds good… I do a halfhour walk probably once a week for groceries, could do more though.
spoiling... Spoiling... Spoiled!
The daily walks are kinda keeping me sane. My roommate does them on her lunch break and I join her. If your body is up for it i highly recommend, especially if its around trees and grass and whatnot. Strolling through a meadow is so nice :3 (until it becomes mosquito season and then it is literal hell i swear to god i want to genocide spiders and mosquitos, the first out of fear and the other out of rage. This is why im not chairwoman)
waow, spoiled....
Walking is just about all I can do now, so it sounds like a good habit, might rope my wife into it. My city is pretty nice so just walking random places could be fun tbh. I do need to build strength too…
im so spoiled :3
But seriously im so spoiled, i live in a city with tons of trees and parks, and we even have a massive park you can go on larger walks in ^^
meow-petted
Aw hell yeah, I think that can fill in for that no-stimulation thinking time people don’t get so much anymore. Good for ruminating and processing, another bonus.
I wish we had a park that big, but there’s an acceptable amount of greenery here. I’m still in a
hellhole but it’s a niceish one ✨
hellcountries
If youre gonna be in hell, it might as well be a niceish one :)
I used to be in a better, less burgerlanded country, with much more nature, but had to move back to this hellhole
at least the city i moved to has some degree of greenery
