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.

No more upvote numbers…
But how will I know if I have your social approval when I’m being gay and autistic?
By comments and interaction! For example, I think that choosing to turn off upvote numbers is extremely based.
but what if I don’t get any… yelling homosexually into the silent void…
oh don’t worry, hun. usually there’s someone willing to entertain our silly little gay thoughts

I’m too happy number go up treat girl brained to change (for now), but I do think old forums were cooking when it came to not scoring comments and posts
Join me in denying the treat girl brain, it’s healthier in the long run
Now I have to respond to all your posts to give my affirmation its a good post That’s too many responses.
Naw don’t fuss about it, I appreciate it but I’ll live yaknow.
…unless it’s a bookpost, in which case uh…
Usually I don’t have much to say on your bookposting but I’ll do better
Because the little trans folx in your phone love your posts and often respond.
I guess it’s kinda churlish to yap about no replies when I talk so much to everyone in the mega. Just spooky y’know, I Showed You My Gay Ramble, Please Respond…
You’ll know because you always have it silly
Seems unlikely!
Objectively, everyone likes you
But what if, let’s say purely for the sake of argument, they did not?
Hypothetically, for the sake of the argument, if that were the case, then logically that means that they haven’t seen you before. Therefore, when they see you posting, they will like you
