/u/stelliferous7 on Japanese words for aro ace people vs. alloromantic asexual people

I can also think of animes where it is heavily implied. (Some Webtoons (webcomics) do have explicitly stated aro and or ace characters. A lot are anime styled) So:

So IDK if you've seen these but Lloyd Asplund from Code Geass (Earl of Pudding) is implied to be aromantic (possibly ace too)(so in the beginning it is implied otherwise but if my memory is correct someone mentions to the girl that he actually is not interested in woman (and men, because if he were gay, you'd know because some other characters show same sex attraction)-again if my memory is correct

So another anime, I believe L (and maybe Light) from Death Note are aromantic. L does get a kiss on the cheek from a girl later on and he said I could fall for you, you know? But this article explains why this shouldnt be taken for face value. Of course I would read it if you haven't seen it and are interested as it contains spoliers. Also in an interview they said they couldn't picture L having "those desires"

[article explaination](explaination](https://teruzukiblog.wordpress.com/2017/05/22/ls-crush-on-misa/)

Also Saiki from Saiki K is 10000% aro ace in my heart. No debate lol

There are a few people who say Legoshi from Beasters is demi but IDK

Also a website has a [list](list of possibly ace characters

Also this may be a longshot but maybe Ein from Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom. She just gives me those vibes and doesn't seem to react sexually to things. She does seem to have a soft spot for the male lead but I think she may either feel strong platonic bonds with him or romance. Either way she may be ace. Take this with a grain of salt as she never says anything about not feeling sexual attraction.

Also an interesting [article](article about how Senku from Dr. Stone can be interpreted as ace.

Also as I thought of this I pulled out a dark manga called Phantom Tales of the Night and I suspect a character is aro and another is aro ace

Before I state more these characters are inhuman and do bad things. This makes hardly good representation if the creators were to pin their lack of feelings on them being inhuman (which I suspect they would). Also, the main character the Inkeeper is very sensual (but looks innocent when not in his inhuman form) in terms of touching people's faces as he talks to themand there is some nudity from time to time and as far as the third volume there is one sex scene. If you're still interested then,

The butterfly (you'll see) says in the first volume "I have no idea what love is to begin with."

The inkeeper as I said is sensual but he never seems to take sexual stuff personally or has it (again stereotype I know but...) I believe he has the separation in mind. I am only on the third volume, so this info can change. Again I am not oblivious to the fact that this is dicey representation.

Webcomics (on Webtoon app):

The purple hair boy from Heckin' Dead explicitly states he is aromantic asexual

If you're interested in asexual characters on Webtoons, PARAprofessional has a main character and we see an asexual sticker in his room. Also Grey is...clippings is another technically ace character (I really like this one as it depicts a QPR but I would not know if Black was ace if I didn't see an author writing it in the comments reply when someone asked if he were ace and I think they confused aro with being ace as a girl mentions how Black is not into romance but they never say the word ace or aro in the comic)

Star Children has two demi characters

The Four of Them Webtoon depicts a guy who questions if they are ace or aro (cant remember which one)

Also Webtoons has a lot of queer content. I def wouldn't bd surprised if there were more ace spec and aro spec peeps in the other Webtoons.

Edit: Those Death Note characters do not say they are not explicitly say they are not interested but there are little things here and there that make compace go off and I feel it in my soul.

Edit: sorry the links are weird I copied and pasted them from another comment to combine them

Can't believe I left the weebs hanging! Also glad to remember the demi webtoons!

Another edit I highly recommend you get Webtoons. Period. And anime lol if you aren't a weeb.

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n...

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou...
