#obelix

Can you tell it's them? They look a bit weird to me (especially Dogmatix / Idefix) but idk. Did my best w/ the resources that got handed to me.

Asterix spent a lot of time in bestie's household when they were children, and he was always fascinated by the fact that Obelix was already carving small figures out of pieces of wood since the age of five

"[…] Gaul is the most troublesome. And of all the villages in Gaul, *that* one is the most terrifying. Never set foot in that village. They're bloodthirsty savages, nameless monsters, horrible brutes with no human feelings, they're wild animals."

Asterix and Obelix moms were friends, and their relationship was to some extent the opposite 👀 if Asterix in more intelligent, then in the case of mothers Obelix's mom was the mentor, since by age she could have been Praline's mother herself

Praline was from Armorican tribe, but she came from another village, was very young (this wasn't unusual in rural areas), and was a little afraid because she didn't really know anyone but her husband, and Gélatine, famous for her good nature (neighbours said she was big because kindness couldn't fit in her heart and came out) immediately befriended her

Asterix is Praline's firstborn: he was born a month prematurely... and besides, six months after the wedding feast

the neighbors were practicing their wits, figuring out who was in a hurry, the child or his dad 👁👄👁

unfortunately, Praline couldn't give birth to more children (several miscarriages, all this), but her only son definitely decided to take on the life force of all her potential sons, haha

as for Obelix, he's the third of Gélatine's children

also unfortunately, he's the only one who survived: the first of his older brothers died while hunting wild boar, falling into a ravine and breaking his neck, the second was robbed and killed on the way when he was returning from a trade festival

mother was sad, but the unexpected late pregnancy comforted her to some extent (btw the one of the reasons why she's so worried about Obelix is that she doesn't want to lose another child)

if everything was fine and measured with her labor (she was a well-experienced lady), then Praline fell off the porch unsuccessfully, was very afraid when realised that labor was starting, and screamed louder than a child

however, most of all she was upset by the fact that Gélatine couldn't help her with childbirth, as she promised

however-2, when she took her son and was surprised at how SMOL he was, she had no time to be upset about the absence of bestie

Seriously, if you think it is you are as crazy as the Romans.

But now for real, look how cute they look. As soon as I saw the clover I was like

“I’m not walking away without it.”
