Line 4:
''TWIYEH'' borrows its characters and some of its concepts from Kytri's first webcomic, ''The Rift'', an [[Orphaned Series]] about a gang of bounty hunters. ''The Rift'' was ended in February 2010 due to lack of interest, but ''TWIYEH'' was started a few months later in May 2010.
 
While the characters from ''The Rift'' are the main players in the comic, several characters from Kytri's ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'' fancomic, ''[[Cuanta Vida (Webcomic)|Cuanta Vida]]'', have been appearing as major and minor characters, earning ''TWIYEH'' a sizable fanbase.

'''''Sin Pararse'''''
 
''Sin Pararse'' is a prequel comic about the relationship of Gabry and Liam. It is set in the ''TWIYEH'' Universe and has a darker overall tone than either ''[[Cuanta Vida (Webcomic)|Cuanta Vida]]'' or ''TWIYEH''.
----
=== ''Sin Pararse'' features examples of: ===
Line 104:
* [[Prequel]]
* [[Pretty Little Headshots]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Gabry is carefree and teasing (Red), while Liam is serious and stoic (Blue). They even wear their respective colors, albeit it's to reference a [[Cuanta Vida (Webcomic)|certain webcomic]]. They're also a bit of an [[Odd Couple]].
* [[Repetitive Name]]: Narrowly averted with Liam Williamson. [[Word of God]] says his first name is not short for William, his parents weren't that cruel.
* [[Straight Gay]]: [[Word of God]] says that most people that meet Liam don't even realize he's gay.
* [[Tap Onon the Head]]
* [[There Are No Therapists]]: Averted
** Although it's played with - Gabry does go to therapy sessions, but he doesn't really know what to talk about, there are some things he just doesn't ''want'' to talk about, he lies about important issues that may help him to talk about and he's being forced to go to them anyway. So whether the therapy would actually have a positive effect remains to be seen.
