alteralgia

A pain or nostalgic feeling for a life you never had or a place you never visited, real or imaginary.

Most commonly experienced when looking at scenery from a picture, a painting or a movie, but also when reading or thinking about a fictional place.

Pronounced like nostalgia
The setting of the movie 'Blade Runner' gives me alteralgia.

Thinking about the Shire from 'Lord of the Rings' makes me alteralgic.

I've never been to Japan, but the idea of being there is making me alteralgic.

alterous

A type of love that is neither completely platonic nor romantic. When you have alterous feelings for someone, you want to be close to them in any way. You might want to date them, yet not feel heartbroken if they say they'd rather be friends. But conversely, if they asked you out, you'd be happy to accept. Just so long as your relationship is close and strong, you're happy!

Two alterous people might have a queerplatonic relationship with each other.

Alterous feelings can be very intense! If you experience alterous attraction but don't know about the term, it can be easy to confuse for romantic love. Just remember, romance isn't inherently stronger than other types of love.

Alterous attraction is common among asexual and aromantic people, but can be experienced by people of all orientations!
I love you, in an alterous way. I think of you as a close friend, and I'm completely satisfied with that. But if you love me romantically, I'd be willing to try dating you too. I'd even have sex with you if you wanted me to! So long as we're emotionally close, I'm happy. You mean everything to me, and I want to do anything I can to make you happy.

Almerino

Almerino is handsome and pretty clever too. He's a bit introvert, sometimes he's all alone by himself. It's the kind of man that seems to be unpleasant, sarcastic and a little bit arrogant, but when you get to know him, you'll discover the funniest man you've ever met.
He brights up your life even in the worst days with his contagious laugh, his jokes, his stories. He can find funny nicknames literally for everyone and everything and he has such a good taste in music that all you can do is to steal from his Playlists on spotify.
Big deep brown eyes, tall, perfect nose and beautiful smile: a truly heart breaker that looks like your celebrity crush.
You can talk with him about politics, food, cats, economy, houses while drinking a craft beer in a small pub downtown.

He doesn't know that he's so strong, always fighting without any rest and without complaining, making jokes and laughing through the pain.
Little things makes him happy and there's no need of special effects: a cola in a glass bottle, a walk in a park, a strange keychain bought in a chinese shop.

He's a caring and loyal friend, you can always count on him. He's also very sweet but he doesn't like to show it to everyone.
Almerino is a gift and a blessing. At first, you'll believe is a cold heart man, but you'll discover soon he's just hiding the best of his personality as a self defense from the fear of suffering again.

He knows how to make you feel loved and appreciated and also gives the best hugs.
A:"have you tried the famous new cheese snacks everyone is talking about?"
B:" yes, they're delicious but Almerino wasn't with me when I tried them, so they don't taste the same".
