can I request some more Irenor? either regular or with fem!Ireland🩷also maybe you could tell us some fun facts about ireland and norway historically?🫢

Sure! ✨

Historically Ireland and Norway has not had much interaction due to being controlled by other countries, but during the Viking Age they had a lot of contact! Funnest fact: Norwegian vikings founded Dublin. Norwegian settlers at this point established several ports and cities in Ireland and would regularly fight with the Irish locals, but the Norwegians mainly kept to the coast as they were more interested in trade and boats. At one point Denmark tried to take the Norwegian settlements but were quickly beaten and they remained under Norway's rule. Over time the vikings integrated into the society and there were many Norwegian men who would end up with Irish women. This contact ended up creating the Hiberno-Norse style, a blend of two cultures, of Celtic and Norse ideas and expressions, something we can see in archaeological material today.

I know you love scotnor, but what do you think about nor x ireland?

It's a fun pairing and I would love to see someone go more in-depth about their relationship as there is a lot of history here to pick from too, especially with the Norwegian vikings establishing Dublin. Not such an unlikely pair after all. I am in general very open to all Norway pairings, but this is one I would def like to see more of.
