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.

Trying to search up info on adhd medication, and all the articles are either written for parents of adhd kids, or they refer to adhd as primarily being something kids and teens struggle with. And why are people still claiming that it’s possible to outgrow a mental disorder? Wish it worked like that, would make my life a whole lot easier if my adhd just magically went away as I got older
The info paper I got when I got my mediation prescribed said that it’s only meant to be used temporarily and that research on dependency and health implications was only done for temporal usage. But my prescription isn’t temporal so it all feels pretty shady.
Yeah… dumb. Allegedly the science is that adhd brains are just slower to develop certain things and I don’t believe it. “Grow out of” more like learn how to mask and use unique strategies. Similarly if I look up autism it’s treated like a disease which they don’t know the cure for and I barely relate to most of the information because I’m not in the same part of the spectrum that they focus on. They still talk about “severity.” Sure it’s hard sometimes, but like cool people have said, we run on Linux and normies run on MS or IOS or whatever.
