If You Like This Show, First Of All Thank You For Watching, Second Of All, Oh My God, We Love That You

‘If you like this show, first of all thank you for watching, second of all, oh my god, we love that you like it.

‘It is built — there is so much love on behalf of so many hundreds of people for this material, for these characters, for these worlds — it is hopefully built in a way that it gets better if you watch it again.

‘A lot of times things that seem unclear, like, there’s an answer there but it’s just a glancing blow. We’re really trusting our audience and we’re trusting that our audience can pay attention to little things and they don’t need it spoon-fed. And I think sometimes maybe that works against us. But I think for people who like the show, I think there is something there to go back for and we work really hard to build that in there, that’s what we like as viewers, we like things that get better when you watch them a second time.

‘My favourite records are records that the first time I [hear] them I’m not sure what to make of it. Then I go back to it, and I go back to it and go back to it, and we work really really hard, hundreds of people work really really hard to make this a show that rewards that kind of attention and that can also mean that on first viewing it can be overwhelming. ‘Who’s that again?’

But we like things like that because we have to work harder and that means there’s a greater love you can get to, and if anyone ever feels that way about this show it would be our greatest, greatest aspiration.’

Like, my man is hilarious, he's strong, he's SMART AS HELL, he's caring, he's so brave and fun at the same time, he's everything a man should be and he needs to be appreciated and all I see is y'all treating him like he's fun and that's it, AND I CANNOT TAKE THIS ANYMORE

Literally how are people complaining about Onyx Storm's word count already? If it really is 544 pages, that's just fine. Fourth Wing was less than that and it had perfect pacing 🤷‍♀️
