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.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
I've been eating the yogurt, wrong end I see (also need more yogurt). I've also been taking probiotics, doing intermittent fasting, and chugging cranberry juice.
Maybe, urgent care doc was like 'well if the bacteria doesn't go away you'll need to go to the ER for an IV', so that's not the most comforting idea to think I may have potentially two things needing an IV now. The obvious signs of thrush, itching/burning in most orifices is gone, so I hope at least the fungus is down. I'd get rid of all the dysphoria organs if I were healthy enough and had the money, so idgaf.
You could get both through the same IV, depends on the med and how good they are at flushing the line. So at least it's only 1 line! If it's not one thing it's another, your immune system couldve been distracted fighting the bacteria, if you took antibiotics by mouth that could've messed with your normal flora leading to a localized yeast infection leading to a systemic one - it sucks but that could totally have been what happened. If you end up getting an IV they'll do bloodwork and a bunch of stuff, maybe swabs, and you'll be sorted soon enough.
Same here, lol. At work I prep all the hazardous reproductive meds and do the radiation stuff cause those organs are going away and I'm not getting a uterus plugged in lol
