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.

    norwegian

    Norway has so many dialects its unreal lol. There isnt even a standardized spoken language, theres just a bunch of dialects.

    finnish

    What does the two vowels next to each other mean in finnish? Is it like a longer or more stressed vowel?

    your day

    I would love to see the photos of the sea aubrey-happy

    wish i could just be normal

    This is so very relatable, lea-breakdown ive had similar convos with my folks. Im really glad he cares so much! niko-happy

    recipe book

    Ooh i love it! One of my favorite things is finding old recipes or old cookbooks, they are always so fun ^^

    roped me into food prep and cooking.

    What did you all make? lea-happy

    white girl drunk

    anya-heh i always do this where I have a couple glasses of wine, feel nothing, and then all of a sudden im drunk lea-finger-guns

      dialects

      oh god it's even worse than finland emilie-come-on

      söötti

      yeah it's longer, rule of thumb there are no silent letters in finnish, the words are said literally just like how they're written, following finnish pronounciations obviously, and that is hard for most people lea-wasnt-me

      food

      we roasted some vegetables in the oven and I made another pizza for myself, because auntie's experience with veganism is that cheese, fish and eggs are fine. smdh. anyway they grilled some meat and we air fried some sliced potatoes, topped with vegan aioli pingu-horny it was excellent.

      drunk

      i bet you're a really cute drunk shy

      really kind and supportive family

      yeah lea-happy really lucked out in the trans bingo tbh, parents took a real leftward turn when i came out and mom's side of the family have seemingly been soc dems at worst so it's pretty great, honestly lea-blush

      lovely people like yourself are often well loved

      oh shtaph aubrey-embarassed

      pls dont actually i love it undyne-owo

        dialects Its... Pretty amazing tbh. Theres a piece on NRK from a while back about two people with very thick dialects from different parts of the country talking to each other, and they cant understand each other. I love it, but it can be difficult. It can also be fun with sentences that are only tiny monosyllabic words (e.g. " d e d d e å d e d d va" or like "æ e i a æ å æ")

        finnish

        Ok that does sound rough. I bet I could do the pronounciation but learning how to break up words into syllables can be real difficult.

        drunk

        Idk, i either get way more anxious or way less anxious. But if its just me and one other person i tend to get more cuddly shy

        family

        Its so nice to hear people taking left turns aubrey-happy There have definitely been some people in my family where I was worried id have to get all aubrey-bat with them. But at worst theyre well meaning libs (aside from the hardcore reactionaries and fash we no longer talk to).

        oh shtaph

        anya-heh make me, söpöliini

          "æ e i a æ å æ")

          wtf this is on some welsh shit

          finnish

          there's a lot of fun things you're allowed to do with the words and most will understand the meaning like mussukka is like a milder version of cutie, but not really cutie-pie... it doesnt really translate. but for example i could say: "olet suloinen sussukka." and it's understood that i' ve tried to make you blush by calling you a "cute little cutie-pie" lea-finger-guns

          drunk

          cuddles are great! i get these very straight yearnings when i'm drunk enough shy

          family

          well my brother is a rightoid so it all balances out i guess niko-concern

                    ¹ info

                    Whips are just so cool! Ive been trying to learn how to make them. I wove myself a leash for my collar a while back to familiarize myself with weaving. I really want to get a range of impact toys. Its just so fun! Well, it depends i guess. Sometimes I can handle only 15 minutes, other times I can go for over an hour, but it does eventually stop being fun when im past my limits.
