When I say I don't want you to respond to something I posted because I couldn't handle the emotional weight of it right now, I wasn't joking.

Don't expect a response back.

Not the hugest thing, but just kind of obnoxious. I know the person is excited that I share the same views on these two characters as they do, that it's a really fucked up relationship and everything. But that doesn't mean that I am down to play it out, especially when I've said my offline life is hectic right now and I am not in the mindset to play out anything super messed up.

Try saying something directly in the post next time, like [open to everyone except X] so they can't ignore it.

It was a meme post(And a quite generic meme which could actually turn into something more angsty and dark if you let it). But you're right, I should have been much more direct. I was trying too hard to joke about it and brush them off, but, duh, subtle doesn't work. Especially when subtle doesn't seem to directly say "I DONT WANT THIS RIGHT NOW".

It's just hard because the relationship in question hits on some very personal and upsetting things for me, and I just met this person and I don't want to load them down with that.

Either way. I should be more direct.
