RED ALERT:

The dawning of either the Kamala Era or the resumption of the Trump Era brings closure to Jokerified Snufkin's role as my pfp on every site.

Whether the next era jolts the Amerikkkan left out of its post-Bernie slump or not is yet to be known- but its arrival is great for Snufkin here, who's already seen enough over the past half of a decade. I sent him off with 70 million reminbi and a ticket to head back to Naantali.

I'm probably gonna tuck him in my banner now in some form or another. He's not dead, this isn't a funeral, all this post serves as is a celebration of his long service.

In his stead, I have appointed This Girl from Psychopomp (its completely free and takes like about an hour to play through, highly recommend):

Her ascension to pfp is effective by midnight EDT. Wish her luck.

Ironically has nothing to do with actual psychopomps. Free on steam and itchio btw

(may use the mc as an interim pfp sometime. jokerified snufkin served me well for half a decade but im not sure if he can take any more- may be time for him to take a nice vacation in naantali)

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.

This is my generation’s DNC Macarena performance

Honorable mention

If I was in charge of The Regime I’d have trouble convincing myself to not keep the libertarian party around as twisted jesters for the masses

(It can’t be the prohibition party btw because I already have plans for it- it’d be so easy to get 20 of yall to go to their next convention in some Best Western in Gainesville probably and nominate one of us)

I don’t make shit up btw

[insert Skibidi Pomni Ohio Gyatt Rizz joke here]

Basically they’ll only certify a candidate if they’re officially nominated by August 7 and the DNC only starts on the 19th lol

RFK’s gonna get second place in a state let’s gooo

Imagining their police handing this out at SeaTac like that mid-70s NYC Fear City pamphlet so that they can convince the mayor to buy them newer M4s somehow

I look like this thing btw
