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 Mikoβs 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 βimmortality elixirβ (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.

Sisko's beard is my archenemy
Waow you are really speedrunning ds9
I've been bedridden for a month now so
Wishing you a quick recovery, comrade.
thank u
Tbh i feel like thats what 90s trek was made for
yeah if nothing else the slop soothes the soul
& there's so much comfy stuff from back then!
I used to have a playlist that was just TNG with all the unwatchable+uncomfortable episodes cut out that I would play over and over, its was my comfy happy tv place
love it! i should do this too
my partner was initially considering excluding Those Episodes, but i wanted to experience all of it 
How did that work out for you?
cw racism
The worst one that always comes up in my mind when talking about bad tng episodes is the racist "what if planet with a barbaric culture? Oh and lets make everyone there black".much teeth-grinding & are-you-for-fucking-realing was had
but also some nice conversations w/ partner! :3
that episode is mega rough yeah
i'd like to mention how they managed to have Troi be pregananant w/out having to commit to it & also re : Troi the abuser w/ mind powers 
Yeeeaaaaa
i dont think the producers really knew what to do with Troi as a character. In the interviews Berman said she was their cheerleader and they would put her in pretty outfits, which is just... Yeah... I dont like Berman 
yeah, that tracks
i haven't done like, a deep dive into this stuff because brain broken, but I'm getting bits & pieces of the behind the scenes stuff as I talk about the show & it's all been horrible so far haha. but yeah it's extra painful because there's a lot of potential to a character like her & then it's her not being herself a bunch / being used by a manipulative dickhole / just generally being tormented in many episodes 
Kinda feels like they pick a character to just torture sometimes. Troi gets a lot of torturous episodes in tng, ds9 has a grand old time playing torture the irishman, etc.
Smiley mpreg episode when
Prenatal babyswapping shall occur
I did this and I tapped out late through series 3. L
fair & valid & understandable
people like to say that it gets better, but the icky episodes keep happening throughout :/
Yeah that was basically my takeaway. I got the box set all excited after watching TOS, TAS and a few of the movies. I wanted to give it time, but "it gets good after a few episodes!" turned into "...after the first season!" and then "...after the second season!" and eventually I checked and like, it takes longer than the entire runtime of TOS for TNG to become reliably good??
Hoping for a speedy recovery
thamk
You're welcome
