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.

Initially I was upset about r/cth getting banned but now I'm grateful because I don't think it would have ever become as much of a trans positive place as hexbear
had another girls night out, this time with my partner and her best friend and my new trans besties.
We ruled the bar! I got called 'a magician' with makeup which my brain is still rolling around in.
A boy flirted with me 😊
My partner kissed me in public which she had said might take a while.
I started a girls poker game and our first game is next week!
I feel like i died and went to heaven how can this be my life! Dare to dream it's never too late!!!!
genital talk
fantasising about showering naked with the boys after training and getting a compliment on my boyclit (in a platonic way)
I bought some dumbbells. I am going to become a strong wife. A POWERFUL WIFE
Alright. I'm fucking done for a while. I'm sick and tired of attempting to help people or cheer people up and having it thrown back in my face. I'm sick of it. It's happened 3 times today and I'm over it. Here (not today, but somewhat recently), Discord, Matrix. Fuck it all. I'm done. Yes I had to vent. Sorry. I'm irritated.
Yesterday I got to have a long conversation with the person who runs the feminist and queer centers at my school (the person who I posted about a few days ago saying I thought she was potentially a Marxist? That person.) I'm so happy, she is indeed a communist and she is also COVID-conscious, which is really important to me. I told them that I wanted to start a COVID-consciousness student group here and she got really excited and offered a lot of support, including a spot at their table at the upcoming club fair. I also told her about my wish to start a socialist reading group on campus (and by "socialist" I really mean Marxist-Leninist, which I think she understood) and they told me that they would absolutely support that too. We had a pretty cool conversation about the politics on campus, about the upcoming election season (which will Not be fun), the existing socialist group within the school, the dire state of COVID consciousness at the school, a lot of topics. She even offered to help me look for work in the surrounding area, because unfortunately most jobs on campus are reserved for federal work-study and I don't have that. Also she runs a trans theory reading group that I will definitely be going to. I'm so glad to have made connections with her, I'm still smiling.
starting to think I just broadly do not like talking to cis people. NotAllCissies, but somehow always one. I just don't want them commenting on the shit they fundimentally do not understand

No more upvote numbers....
But how will I know if I have your social approval when I'm being gay and autistic?
so, funny thing happened at work today, chat. the cleaning lady was asking me if I have or had a husband, and I outed myself as
and very gay. She took it in stride and we spent a few minutes shitting on men.
