Overall thinking and writing about this has given me a stronger appreciation of the nature of the difficulty in writing a good ending. That includes e.g. ending this thread! What was I building to? What did all of these tweets mean?
Here's one possible ending: the process of meaning-making does not actually end at the ending, of course. After a story ends it gets digested by its audience and the audience is an active participant in meaning-making. It may e.g. come up with meanings unintended by the author.
Audiences construct fan theories to guess at the meanings of events, and sometimes the ending is so unsatisfying audiences prefer their fan theories to the "official" meanings.
Audiences also write fanfiction that offers better or at least differently exciting meanings. On that note @AliceShipwise is almost done writing a totally original S8 script and it's fantastic: https://www.aliceshipwise.com/gameofthrones/scripts/S08E01_fealty_part1.html …
There is a beautiful kind of freedom that opens up in this environment. It becomes reductive to talk about "the" meaning of anything that happens in the story. There is a multiverse of meaning, represented in fan theories, fanfiction, headcanons, etc.
IOW this whole thread was about @Meaningness all along! "Meaningness is an interactional dynamic that arises between oneself and one's situation. ... The only kind that exists is nebulous: ambiguous, fluctuating, uncertain; like a dance, not like a statue."
"That might seem unsatisfactory at first. However, once you accept that meaning is like that, you can see that it's actually much better than the hypothetical solid kind of meaning. It provides freedom and creativity and exploration and lightness, where the given-by-God...
... kind of meaning would be restrictive, dull, heavy, boring, and inescapable. If the universe had inherent meaning we would all be living in a totalitarian prison." From:https://meaningness.com/neither-objective-nor-subjective …
