Cersei was always an endgame character.
"The Winds of Winter" clearly paints her as one of the 3 protagonists alongside Dany and Jon. There was a time when Tyrion was more important than her, but not anymore.
Confess.

Well before she meets her end , she will probably be made aware of who Jon's true mother is, remember the feelings of jealousy she had towards Lyanna Stark, I'd expect the revelation to provoke an extreme reaction.

I always thought so too, since she's described as being really saggy during her walk of shame, but there is also that egg she opens that has a chick in it. That could easily be miscarriage foreshadowing.

only her breasts are described as somewhat saggy but its only natural she would lose weight when she was starved. i never got the feeling that she gained that much weight to begin with. either way she's had 3 kids and there's no way she wouldn't realize pregnancy symptoms at that point.

Her breasts are described as saggy. But she is generally described as saggy as well. And I wouldn't say it was just "somewhat saggy" either. The kid who commented on Cersei's body was obviously shocked and disbelieving that the queen could be as saggy as his saggy mom. And Cersei even admits that her body was seen by the smallfolk as "more like their mothers than their pretty little maiden daughters".
I think it was a combination of having three kids, then getting into heavy drinking, gaining some weight as a result, and then being put on a very restricted diet while she was imprisoned. That can really take a toll on someone's looks.
i never got the feeling that she gained that much weight to begin with.
I didn't either. Just enough to get a gut probably. But you don't need to gain a lot of weigh to get saggy. It just depends on your skin type.
either way she's had 3 kids and there's no way she wouldn't realize pregnancy symptoms at that point.
That's what I always thought too, but this new development has me questioning my previous assumptions. -

lol idk why you got fixated so much on the saggy part. its really not a big deal.
this is stupid D&D fanfic. no way this happens in the book. jaime/cersei aren't f-cking and cersei would immediately take moontea if a kettleblack got her pregnant. i don't even believe that she'll be having sex with anyone after ADWD, she's too heavily guarded by septas. -

It's GRRM who is fixated on the saggy part. He mentioned it repeatedly. I was just going off what he wrote.

I hope you are right.
jaime/cersei aren't f-cking and cersei would immediately take moontea if a kettleblack got her pregnant.
She recently had sex with a Kettleblack and then got arrested.
i don't even believe that she'll be having sex with anyone after ADWD, she's too heavily guarded by septas.
Me neither. If she is pregnant, it's already happened. -

just so you know, some women just have naturally sag to their breasts because they're breasts are big. even when they haven't had kids. the people's reactions to cersei's body to me seemed like the type of glee that people now get when they see unflattering photos of celebrities and because they hate her guts rather than her actually looking like a hideous monster to me. there are plenty of women who have these flaws are still very beautiful.
i don't think this subplot is anything more than cheap shock value. which is gross because using a miscarriage for shock is just cruel to me. -

I am aware that many people delight in Cersei's physical flaws because they hate her, but GRRM did go out of his way to describe her in an unflattering manner, and that is canon.
Moreover, I never gave an opinion on Cersei's appearance. Merely stated that she is notably saggy as is stated several times in the text. And I mentioned this only because I was trying to gauge whether she was pregnant or not based on clues given about her physical appearance.
