my 9th strangulation this year.

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
