Any other aroallos annoyed by sex being viewed as shallow, loveless, not fuelled by "pure" emotions - just lustful, for your own pleasure - when that description is much more true for my romance?

Out of all of the attractions I feel (platonic, familial, sexual, etc) my romantic feelings are the most shallow and fleeting. It bothers me when romance is described as an inherently superior, deeper, and more pure form of attraction. That does not reign true to me at all!!

I love familially, I love platonically, and I love sexually. I love deeply and intensely. It bothers me when all that is overlooked because I happen to not love romantically enough.

No form of attraction is inherently purer or more valuable than another.

(I'm not shallow for experiencing sexual attraction nor heartless for not experiencing romantic attraction, thank you.)

"...and the 'A' stands for 'asexual'..." you forgot something there

Does anyone know any characters who are canonically aroallo?

The word "aroallo" (or even just "aromantic") doesn't have to be used in the media, but it has to be canonical in some way*, not just a headcanon based on vibes.

*ex: the author confirms it on social media, the story is clearly written with it in mind even if the word aroallo isn't used, or the character uses other language to describe being aroallo

Aroallo character starter pack

"They're so aroace coded!"

"Aww, I really hoped they would kiss that other character :("

"They like her enough to fuck her, but not enough to date her??? Shouldn't sex be intimate??"

"Aww, that other character is gonna be heartbroken when he learns this character is aromantic :((( I feel so bad for him :(("

"They give off aroace vibes"

"Wait, I'm confused, are they dating her or not?" (It was explicitly stated by the character that they are uncomfortable with romance but have a friends with benefits relationship)

"Aww, I really hoped they would end up in a throuple with him and her :(( I'm kinda sad they're aro"

"They can still be in a QPR!!"

"Remember, aro people can still date, so our ship can still sail!!"

"I'm so confused"

"The author confirmed they're aroace" (the author has never called this character asexual)

Being aroallo and poly AKA the "you're an abuser" combo

Shoutout to girlfrien for dealing with me even when I'm annoying

I'd be so powerful if I knew how to animate

When no one else got me, at least breakup/loss of relationship songs got me

[lilmerh]

Despite how much I love people, I find it hard to connect with them. Like, I feel affection strongly, and often imagine scenarios of me and another person/people hanging out, but when it comes to actually doing it, I faulter. I don't know how to approach people, talk, or spend time together in the "right" way. I guess I come across as strange, disinterested, too much, or boring. It's hard to build a deep relationship with someone when people rarely seem to want to talk to me as much as I want them
