SERA HAZBIN HOTEL

Is actually St. Sarah, the daughter of Jesus Christ and Mary Madgalene (a fact known by very few). She was 20 when her father was crucified, and along with her mother and grandmother, was present at the revelation that her father had ascended.

As the patron saint of displaced people, her decision to allow the exterminations feels like a betrayal of everyone she has ever protected, or who has looked to her for guidance.

Her own mother had been given a second chance, and found salvation in it. She would be so ashamed...

It was only supposed to be one extermination. Just enough to scare the sinners away from a rebellion. But it's all gotten out of hand, and now she has no idea how to stop Adam and the other exterminators.

#( am i going to add her? )#( not sure )#( but i had to get this written down! )

JFC, love of a ward raised by her father and getting married to a Jon who is known for his honor😳 and how different the fates could be here regarding Sansa and Lysa . This should be added in the Jonsa holy scripture. How did I not notice it ... nevermind , were you trained in Bloodraven's cave ?

I’ll raise you some true tinfoil. Brace yourself.

Lysa = Lys = French for “lily” = the flower used to represent the virgin Mary = Maiden and Mother. (edited to correct the language)

Also Lys = the Free City associated with beautiful courtesans = Mary Madgalene, associate with the resurrection of Jesus, often conflated with the “sinful woman” saved by Jesus from execution.

Tears of Lys = the poison used by Lysa to kill her husband. See also Alyssa’s Tears, the waterfall on the Giant’s lance named after a Bad Arryn Woman.

Tears of Saint Mary = weeping statue whose tears are credited with miraculous healing. (See also, the statue of Alyssa that lies broken in the Eyrie garden where Sansa rebuilds Winterfell from snow.)

Rapunzel = in the original tale, heals her lover’s blindness with her tears after being cast out by the witch from her tower and wandering the wilderness until her singing led the blind prince to her.

I don’t want to say the poisonous Tears of Lys are an elaborately set up foil for Sansa’s tears when she finds Jon again after his “resurrection” and her role in restoring him to humanity, but also I am totally saying it.

(This is my brain. Can’t blame Bloodraven for this. The poor man is innocent.)
