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.

Youre in luck darlin ;p Danish is impossible to speak and understand. I can read it tho ^^ i guess that makes it obvious what i speak then doesnt it
I remember working with some people who spoke danish and they assumed I could understand it 
i couldnt get them to slow down or anything. They gave me free drinks tho so 
Noted! Idk i just like language. Its just really difficult to learn if not immersed in it
Fuckers
Ive got one scheduled for a month from now, so thats something
<3 afterwards i just wanted to curl up in a little kitty ball and cry and be held. Squeezed my plushies half to death and that helped.
Youd make an amazing forest witch sweetness
)
:marihappy:(why do we only have:marisad:?They should be! Ive basically given up on ever owning a home. live to rent, rent to live, live to die.
I hope the rest of the drive was a bit easier and your neck feels a bit better today
. How is Sweden treating your beautiful self? Grass touching with wifi and water sounds like a lovely time 
hallo!
yeah, sink denmark tbh
cant turn down free drinks though 
finnish is interesting because you just make the words longer instead of adding words
germans still got us beat on that though 
we used to have a popular god of love called Lempo, but the fuckers got to him and now it's an old timey swear
hell yeah month from now
awh poor little kitty
internet is great, but distances suuuuuck virtual hugs will have to suffice 
i might own a home solely because my brother already owns one and my parents have one, what a great system we live under
massive headache the whole day, but aunt had some painkillers to give
i got to make my own vegan pizza and the area is beautiful, might go do a little walk at the seashore tomorrow 
she called me a boy once but it wasnt out of malice, overall things are pretty good
except that i suck at writing on the phone and the sweetheart who resides in it would deserve faster responses 
anti-dansk aksjon
Brb, gonna go make atlantis 2: denmark edition
I love that! Compound words are just really neat ^^ ive always had a bit of an interest in the uralic language family. I wanted to learn northern sami but the course that was available was only for sami people, which, while frustrating for me, is understandable and imo good.
Aww tell me about Lempo, what kind of god of love was he?
Can Lempo be reclaimed? Perhaps similar to how Lilith was changed through midrashim? (Although i have big issues with a lot of her modern representation). Idk the attitudes and relationship between finnish culture and pre-christian gods
.
They doooo
Well what can I say, youre just a big ball of sweetness
Im in a similar boat; my mother has talked about giving me her house when she dies. Its my one non-maoist path to homeownership. Its also insane. What she pays in property taxes, etc., for her home is 60% of what we pay in rent for our apartment. Her home is far larger, far cozier, and far more functional (also she doesnt live next to a damn highway). She doesnt have people living above and on either side of her either. The system is so broken. Her utilities are probably cheaper as well, but we havent compared those prices.
Oh no!
im glad she had some pain meds for you <3 gal as sweet as you shouldnt be subjected to headaches.
Ngl this sounds so delightful and idyllic, i miss being able to just go out to the middle of nowhere, unbothered by people/society. I used to live in a place with few people, where you could just walk out your door and be in nature, and it was so lovely. I wish I could have enjoyed it more while I had it (i was deeply dysphoric and lowkey an alcoholic during that part of my life
).
Yayyy \^^/ at the first family reunion we had after I came out, the only person to misgender me was my mother who id been out to for ages lol.
tanskan upotus
atlantis 2? no no that's terf island
denmark can be atlantis three.
yeah, the sami have suffered enough tbh, still kind of a shame
finnish word of the post: luonnonvarainen, it means to exist on it's own in the wilderness aka wild.
the thing is, we dont really know
the christians were very too good at their jobs, all the witches and shamans were either murdered or banished into wilderness. that combined with our own brand of christo-fascism in the 20s to 40s means that we are the most conservative of the nordics 
have some more hugs, sweetheart:
you're one to talk about sweetness, sweety.
i was toying with the idea of a houseboat when i was younger, wouldnt have to pay rent nor property taxes
it really is! maybe you'll live around nature again one day
without the alcoholic downsides 
oof that sucks, but atleast she was the only one.
My dad still sometimes fucks up, but he gets so sad about it that it's kinda endearing.
we can be slow phone posting girlies together
do you have any more grass touching in the future? or can you keep nesting like the cute kitten you are?
^^
Is tanskan dane/denmark/danish in finnish? Its close enough to "dansken" that maybe it could be? No idea on upotus tho
Yeah, idk what/how everything happened in finnland but fornorskning was pretty fucked. And norway is still pulling shit like in fosen.
This is so cool! My grammar brain is very interested, im assuming its a compound word?
That sucks
christian missionaries really fucked so much up.
I hope so
i live somewhere with a lot of nature right now, but its hard to access and is full of people. Its just kind of a touristy area ig.
Aww hes trying at least
Yayyy
First off, melting at pets
this kittens curled up in her bed right now, all cozy and blushing 
But i dont have immediate grasstouching, just normal life stuff i guess. I need to buy food, i forgot to eat yesterday, and only had a small snack the day before that, so im really pushing it. But i just got my car insurance sorted out and its half of what it was before, so im less anxious about money now ^^
So i guess aside from food im gonna stay curled up and cute in my little kitten nest
heippa :3
pretty close. it means "the sinking of denmark." tanska is denmark. tanskan means it's happening to it and "upotus" is a verb which means sinking.
luonto is nature and varaisuus is wealth, luonnonvara means national resource, it's fun like that.
it apparentely wasnt that bad, we mostly just intermarried a bunch and forced them to travel north, being racist against them was still cool and good in the 90s
i've heard that burgers take their grills with them into those "nature" parks
you are adorable, sweetheart
awh cute kitty lily curling up in her nest
i'm curled up in my own room now too, reading gay slop, and chatting to this cute gay on my phone, you might know her 
awh, sweetie, you need to eat so you dont waste away. doing food runs is such a chore though
, but still, try to eat, sweetheart 
finnish word of the post: ukkonen
it means thunder, stems from the old god of thunder Ukko, which also means "old man"
:p
Im loving the mini finnish lessons ^^
Aww darlin i bet youre super cute all curled up, readin and chattin
but whose this cute gay gal? Tell me about her ;p
Im trying, i just get distracted a lot
my mama thinks i have adhd, but i remain unconvinced. But ill go get some food now when i post this ^^
I love this! Please keep them coming
^^
hey, atleast you have a car, sweetie
burgers do be making everything just wildly weird.
well learning one of the harder languages is one thing that this country gave me, might as well spread it around to an attentive audience
well first of all, she's great at summoning butterflies in my stomach, secondly she has great opinions about life (and me
) thirdly I think about her a lot and want to give her a hug and just hold on for a while 
finnish word of the post: runoilija
it means poet (
) runo is poem. it's a lovely gender neutral term
happy lesbian sounds
This is true
i can at least escape this city ^^
My rapt attention is yours
Believe it or not, I have a similar situation with this cute gal in my phone
i just want to snuggle up in each others laps 
Did you... Did you choose this word because of my poetryposting?
food
Im making rice ^^
I might make some beans, but that requires the stove and not just the rice cooker...
foood
rice is fantastic tbh, top em with some soy sauce, or just salt & pepper and it's already pretty decent. maybe some cumin and sriracha
boring food
Im a simple girl today and am eating plain rice
