Community Highlight: Nohr-And-Tea
Vtuber, streamer, lore enthusiast, and fan.
Hello hello~!!! My name is Nohr, Nohr Trappola! I am a nonbinary bunny Vtuber who streams on Twitch, makes TikToks, and make content on YouTube. I am so happy my friends and I pushed to make Hyperion Team 3rd, as we are all equally passionate about this game, and what this story holds dear to our hearts~!!!
About Yourself
As my name has been given out, let me tell you a bit about myself. Besides being a vtuber that streams Honkai Impact 3rd, I am also a huge fan of literature and philosophy! I love studying and finding the deeper meaning within all forms of writing, but also being able to understand how some things are meant to be taken to face value. I have a huge passion for talking about the importance of these subjects as I feel nowadays, it is hard to be able to communicate and have these conversations. Besides Honkai Impact 3rd, I love Honkai Star Rail, Tears of Themis, the Yakuza series, Red Dead Redemption, Nintendo, and horror games! If you ever want to talk about random fandom events, please talk to me. I am like a mini archive with how much random fandom event lore I have in my brain. I love HI3rd as it has been with me with some of my more major life progress. I got invited for some online events for HoYoverse, and even was a guest for their 5th-anniversary stream for the GLB side of Honkai Impact 3rd!
When Did You Start Streaming?
I started streaming on November 27, 2021! I started because Thus Spoke Apocalypse was coming out, and my friend’s phone was not able to handle Honkai Impact 3rd. I wanted to enjoy the chapter with her, as she was the friend who was the final push for me to play the game. Originally I wanted to stream the game to her on Discord, but the quality on Discord at the time was truthfully garbage. So, to experience this arc with her, I commissioned an artist a PNG and went live right after she had her dinner. I won’t lie, I was hoping to an extent that if someone showed up they would not call me a nerd as I kept getting excited and emotional. I only streamed for an hour, but having a chatter that was not my friend commenting how they liked my passion was motivating. So the next day I asked my friend if she was down to watch me play more, leading me to gain more confidence to stream.
Why Did You Stick To Streaming Honkai Impact 3rd?
Truthfully, it was because it was a media I knew I could yell about and hope I could make new friends too. Before streaming, I struggled a lot with my personal life and making friends. I am very socially anxious, I have gotten better at it, especially thanks to streaming HI3rd, but it used to be so bad after every stream I would feel so mentally tired I would sleep for over 12 hours. Slowly with time, I got used to streaming more hours and interacting more. I know that if my past self could see their improvement, see that they can now make friends and find this community home, they would be crying with joy knowing that we grew. Another reason was just the chatter I mentioned earlier. I was in a way taught as a young kid to keep my passions to myself, do what is expected, and hide those things away because they won’t do you any good. I always loved being active in online spaces, I always joined fandoms, made fanart, theories, articles, and so much more.
Truthfully, I think what set it in motion that I would be streaming Honkai Impact 3rd pretty daily was the end of Thus Spoke Apocalypse. I was trying so hard to hold back tears, even muting myself, but someone just going, “If you need to cry you should just cry.” Just being told by a community member that it was okay for me to express my emotions, made me feel safe and that made my whole day. This whole arc, the people that were there while I was doing it allowed me to talk about my passion for the game, explain the references and even the science hat got thrown in, but also allowed me to cheer for Kiana and Dudu, express my angry I felt when we learned more about Otto’s past and how his family treated him, but also be allowed to cry. To cry without judgment, knowing that this story arc did not just cause me to cry but also other players made me feel welcome and valid.
Who Are Your Favorite Characters In HI3rd?
That is a question I can never answer because I love the cast way too much to just have a selected few. Realistically the characters I love are because I either relate to them, they feel like a fun character to study, or it is because of their sense of humanity. I love seeing characters express that the most, as I am someone who struggles with feeling human sometimes because of my situations. I love Fu Hua because of her strength, but also how true she is to herself and how much she loves those around her. I love Welt Yang cause despite all the things in his life that could have made him go down the wrong path, didn’t lead to that. I love Su because he is a smart man who cares for his patients as a doctor. Void Archives is a favorite as well despite him having a lot less information than the previously mentioned characters. Having a character like them that is just a whole enigma is fun for me. Even a simple character like Joyce is my favorite for the little we know of him, HoYo never fails to bring their characters to life.
I have way too many favorites, was more than maybe the normal person should have. I mean, if you even want to know the truth, even a character like Otto Apocalypse is. At this point, I joke that I don’t know if it was being successfully tricked into liking him, or if it just happened naturally and I jokingly say I don’t cause I am so tired of defending my “red flag” favorites. Listen, it is not my fault HoYo wrote him to be one of the best characters in this game. I have become Otto’s biggest defender and also biggest critic. I think another character that has me like this is Vill-V, and that is all via the misunderstanding of her character from the later chapters. I am fighting wars here trying to defend my favs! At the end of the day, I just like the characters! I can not pick a few! Anyways, Theresa Apocalypse is my favorite cause she is like a daughter to me, I do not take defamation of Theresa’s character.
How Has HI3rd Impacted You?
I feel like one day I will be comfortable speaking fully to the extent of how Honkai Impact 3rd has helped me. I know people hear me say, “Honkai Impact 3rd has saved my life.” Yet, I do not know or realize if people know how serious I mean that. This game has helped me get back on my feet a lot, this game has helped me make friends, but it helped me find something I can have a passion for. I talk about it on my streams, yet for a good while, before an accident happened in 2015, I wanted to be a teacher, maybe even a professor. Why someone in education? Well, my first plan was to make inventions, but that did not work when my mom realized that I would accidentally put myself at risk, all for the namesake of being an amazing inventor who will one day figure out how to add railroads to all the United States ahah! However, it was finding the news that it would take a lot of me physically, and when 2020 hit with the biggest event in the world, all my hopes in a twisted way died. Yet, with HI3rd I still carried on, seeing everyone grow, seeing everyone fight for what they believed was right motivated me. Now, here I am! Trying to make streaming be a thing for me, but also having the chance to stream without much fear being told I am weak, that I won’t be able to achieve things because I am at a slight disadvantage. I love being able to share my passion for games, characters, literature, philosophy, and characters! I love being able to be as open as I am now, and I am forever grateful I was able to meet friends and make friends who want to support me in my journey.
What Are Plans Next?
Play Part Two (2), what else do you expect for me to do? No no, I kid of course! I do have a lot of plans. I want to keep making streams, videos, and so much more for the Honkai Impact 3rd community. This community feels like a home to me, I want to make game nights for the players, I want to make a fan English dub, and I want to help boost other creators, they can be streamers, editors, cosplayers, really just anyone that loves this game as much as me. I want to make friends, help my friends reach their goals, and keep streaming for this game! Maybe it is selfish of me, but a silly goal I have is to one day voice act something for this game. I would love to one day surprise my chat with my voice acting in the game or for an ad or something, hah! My main goal is to keep playing this game, sharing my love and passion for this game, and to make friends. I just want to make friends and drag them to scream about this game with me. I hope I can keep making content, I hope I can keep sharing my passion, but I mostly hope I can keep making those around me proud of who I am and what I want to achieve. I want my friends to one day talk about me how I talk about them, with excitement and pride of being my friend. I want my friends to not worry about me but also know they can lean on me if they need anything. With Honkai Impact 3rd Part Two (2) right around the corner, I can only hope I can be there for those around me but also make myself proud and keep pushing the dream and goal of being a content creator!
