HKxIceland.Whut?

I'm curious.....

I've seen this Hong KongxIceland pairing several places, but.....

Why? Is it just crack or is there a good, historical reason why the pairing exists?

Of course I don't mind any kinda pairings XD I make up crack pairings 24/7 pretty much. But I'm just curious, cause I like the pairing.

I don't really know myself, but so far, I think it's because both of them have the 'poker' [expressionless] face, so maybe people think it's fun when they interact with each other... XD

well, this is just a prediction.

[chi-hong.livejournal.com]

Yeah... They do have the same deadpan expression XD

Although that would also make them pairable with Egypt, Norway and Japan as well.

DEADPAN GROUP. =D

Imagine those guys playing poker.... Dude..

[cilsi.livejournal.com]

That would be the toughest game ever played XDDD

it was something to do with them both being high school age-ish as well, i think..

[chi-hong.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think I saw somewhere they were called simply "High school boys" or something.

LOL thanks for asking this question! I've been wanting to, but never got round to it

I'd go with what cilsi says about poker faces.. XD they don't really seem to display much emotion in general? Plus within their respective groups of fives (Asians and Nordics) they aren't portrayed as much as the others? Unlike China and Japan; Sweden, Finland, Denmark?

Though on Pixiv, the HKIceland tag is 男子高校生組 - male high school student team/group - wonder if that has anything to do with it.. 'o' <-- as x_reggg says ^^;

yeaa, i dunno why, but i pair norway and hk together. and even sometimes as HK 'pretending' to be iceland (just to get closer *in bed* with norway*
maybe it's the expression why those three are in my fave hetalia list (sweden is included)

XDDD I've seen some NorwayxHK and NorwayxJapan pics actually. NorwayxJapan is called salmon pair, which I find really cute.

We DO eat a lot of fish in Norway.....>.>

It's because of their dialogue speech patterns. The reason their tag on pixiv is called High School Boys is because both of their talking habits are quite informal and a little bit rude. They also take to shortening words and names.

Like, Iceland refers to Norway as "Nor" in canon. Denmark as "Dan", Sweden as "Sve", and Finland as "Finn".

I'm not sure if he does this with others outside of his close circle, since Hidekaz hasn't exactly revealed him talking to anyone else but Sealand, yet.

Yeah- It's a pairing based on their dialogue :V
