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.

Omg the gay tension in this gayme is so, uh, gay
I'll be needing some specifics, sister. Like I told @ashinadash@hexbear.net I've been dying to discuss this gayme with people
I wish I understood gay tension
oh dw about it, your gay tension radar could be overtuned
it's almost as bad
At least I would understand things and simp vampires then, though
aw
im sorry
I haven't been getting rizzed up
How many corpses gotta roll in before someone makes a move?
Depends on the move you want
Farah is all about flirting if you spend time with her. Morgan wants to fuck at first 
Nat is all about being friendly and Ava is an emotionally stunted person I'm sure she has a reason, I've just never cared to find out.
Which one of them is most likely to give me unsolicited headpets
I have pretty simple needs....
none, they all have consent kinks
spoiler
Farah or Nat
Morgan takes until the end of book 2 to start to open up about feelings and I think Ava starts to warm up slightly in book 4 from what I've heard
I take it you also have a consent kink, cutie?
spoiler
Im playing a very gay Lauren, she likes dresses and is somewhat intimidated by team bravo, but can stand her ground. Already picked an argument with Ava. During the altercation at Farris (also where is this set? Cause farris is a like bottled water company ive only seen in northern europe stores) she didnt draw her gun until absolutely neccessary, and instead used pepper spray (to no effect
)
Ok so im not far in, but so far Ava is kind of an asshole, clearly doesnt respect me :/. Nat is cool, kinda charming, clearly has some degree of interest in me. Farah is quippy but can be a little annoying (maybe with exposure ill find it less so). Morgan is brooding and I cant get a read on her.
it's some small town™️ in the land of of the angles shudder
Your takes about the vampires are in-line with my own. fighting with Ava verbally is a lot of fun, until it just starts to feel like bullying, she has no social graces
Yeah, it started rough, immediate distaste for her personality. Im hoping the verbal sparring can get more enjoyable, shes softening up a teensy tiny bit, and maybe even joking with me(?), which paints some hope of at least tolerating each other.
im gay :3
Inside of me are two wolves. One is put off by Ava, frustrated and upset by her dismissal, ego, and arrogance. The other wants her to choke slam me into a wall
hello, gay. I'm also gay :3
Look, Ava is cool and all (get it cause she's an ice queen? HA!) but like there's a perfectly good Morgan right there to back you into a corner
very gay :3
gayness overload c:
finally! someone gets it! Morgan is criminally underrated by the "fans"
Poor Farah has the least amount of fans though, she's like a sweet cinnamon bun after you express any interest 
hyperflush
I cant help being a subby little kinkgirl
Aww ok thats really sweet i may have to express that then, just for the cuddles
Okay see this is what I don't have. I was befuddled when the game let me express my bottom nature just due to her stare; I did not.
Ngl the looks part of things is difficult, but im getting around that by just reacting how my socially oblivious ass would react in real life
That's what I've been doing too and it feels pretty acommodating of that tbh. Big fan.
We are the same detective
Its always kinda akward for me, playing a cop. Makes me feel a little gross
I feel like Ava could be a lot more interesting if she was less elitist/"stupid humans grr". Morgan i want to get a read on before passing any kind of judgement.
Tell me about your detective
Yeah I didn't even use pepper spray, I have stood down basically every time. I did use my position as head detective to hurry the blood samples along.
I guess maybe they(writer/s) want you to make a kink of it, step on me hot evil lady? But yeah Ava is insufferable soz.
My Detective Lin (I put my first name in but left the last one, Shepard-style) is a dorky overly earnest themby (no seperate pronoun choice) with good taste in summer dresses and a desire to be hit on. They're fun to play, I like how conversation flows in this game it's awesome, I am about to play more.
It really flows well doesnt it? I actually feel like im in the story instead of observing the story, and i attribute that to the dialog and writing style. I havent been hit with the problem of the prompt not really lining up tone-wise with what i end up saying (looking at you, DA:I).
I was too nervous to just wield power like that my first day on the job :/
I want to play more
but im going on a walk and then getting ready for a bday party.
If I weren't married already I'd probably be in your shoes, fwiw. My plan would literally be to go to like, a cafe or whatever and sit around waiting to get approached. And then freaking out when it happens, I'm so glad to be married for so many reasons. We really do have the same detective though lol.
It does flow really well, see I keep trying to poke the game metatextually, expecting things to feel unnatural or whatever, but picking the options I want just makes the game chug along in a way Mass Effect can only fuckin dream of having. It's stellar, thank you book game.
I wasn't! Like I said to the desk dork, people are getting killed, we need those fucking results
Good luck and have fun tbh. Grasstouchingpilled partyattendingmaxxer
Ive been thinking of doing this at the local t4t night at a bar-ish place around here, maybe bring a book, but i get so anxious that people will draw assumptions about me
Like assuming "oh poor her she got stood up" or some shit like that. Idk, people made assumptions about me constantly growing up and i cant seem to shake that bad feeling, even though i know logically that its unlikely to happen. Plus i feel like Id not know how to handle it if someone started chatting me up, but also would be dissapointed if that didnt happen lol 🙃
Seriously! I went in to mass effect years after release and people were all talking it up, but the way it flowed didnt sit with me ig. But this, oh this Wayhaven narrative is so fucking good and flowy!
Ty
its just a casual family party thing, but still! Gotta touch the grass 
Holy fuck you have a local t4t night???? You gotta fuckin do that. Wear a hat or badge that says "Hi I'm gay and single!" That would be fucking awesome. Also I doubt everyone at t4t night has a date, I think you'll be fine. I doubt a place like that is judgemental anyway frankly. I know it's scary having people approach you though!!! Uncritical support to whatever choices you make, it sounds coolt hough.
Yeah fr Wayhaven is awesome. Genderisopsec described it as "slop" but while it is genrefic it's very well written anyway, honestly above average in all respects. I dig it a lot.
Yeah! Theres a workers collective that runs one
Idk, you havent met the transfemmes around here :/ thats not to say all, or even most, or even many, but enough that im anxious :/
Yeah, wayhaven is the best slop ive seen in a long while ^^ and it sounds like it just gets better and better
I now hate The Transfemmes Around Here, they can choke, fuck em. For all of this.
Wayhaven is pretty good, I still worry about wifechoice but y'know...
Lol ive been once before with friends, it was pretty great
cw drugging drinks
Although they had to let someone go apparently cause they were spiking drinks (and specifically the drinks of transfemme people....) hope that fucker rots. Its part of why im anxious to go alone.
no words
cw SA implications
Yeah
i love being served drinks by predatory cis men. I mean, at least they immediately let the guy go, but like, idk, still makes me anxious; he got hired and worked there for a while for fucks sake!
spoiler
Yeah no the org sounds like it did good, that's just really fuckin disconcerting.
Yeah. Ill probably go this week with my roomie, shes been wanting to go for a while ^^
Keep us posted, wanna know how it goes
I will! Its not for a while, but ill be sure to post about it :3 ill probably make her play cards with me, i love a good game of rummy or gin or whatever
