dont they also have frame bags that are made to go from the top tube to the seat tube and are maybe 2 inches wide in the shape of a triangle?

Such a thing does exist but you'd be hard pushed to get everything the OP described into one. Unless you're about the size of Action Man, in which case you'd have trouble riding the bike in the first place.

I'd suggest front lowrider panniers or a frame bag. These don't affect handling the way a rear load only will, ime.

A lot of ideas here to try and accommodate the OP. Sorry, but I'm gonna be a real smartass here:

Get over it, HTFU, and ride with something simple. Prima donna dilettante.

Somehow, I feel I'm in agreement to that. :D
