* NiceHat: Episode Three is (partially) dedicated to this concept. Special mention goes to Tyria's tophat and Yaya's tricorne, both of which are visible in the episode thumbnail, as well as Tyria's [[CoolCrown golden crown]].

** [[spoiler: Before the start of ''Tyria and Yaya'', Yaya was an expy of [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCExlOjz0OJhOD_eO1DOId6Q Moonshine Animations]]'s Cecilia -- like Cecilia, Yaya was a silly but incredibly powerful and malevolent character who was also the mascot for a [=YouTube=] channel. This isn't the case anymore thanks to CharacterizationMarchesOn.]]

On 23 October 2019 it was announced in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcg4VyBFR44 this video]] that ''Tyria and Yaya'' would be [[ContinuityReboot rebooted]] and the old series declared non-canon due to [=YayaFingerButters=]'s [[CreatorBacklash growing dissatisfaction]] with it. On 20 May 2020 [=YayaFingerButters=] elaborated in [[https://www.patreon.com/posts/what-happened-to-37075068 this Patreon post]] that the new ''Tyria and Yaya'' would consist of self-contained short films, as opposed to a series with a single overarching story.

On 23 October 2019 it was announced in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcg4VyBFR44 this]] video that the series will be [[ContinuityReboot restarted]], because [=YayaFingerButters=] was not happy with the current (now non-canon) series.

** There's also some information that can only be found on [[WordOfGod This Very Wiki]].

** The Otherking, the ArcVillain of Episode Four.

* InternalHomage: The premise of Episode One was almost directly ripped off of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dgbQ1VGOXo this]] animation [=YayaFingerButters=] made more than two years prior.

* NiceHat: Episode Three is (somewhat) dedicated to this concept. Special mention goes to Tyria's tophat and Yaya's tricorne, both of which are visible in the episode thumbnail, as well as Tyria's [[CoolCrown golden crown]].
* NoSell: Early in Episode Two, Yaya accidentally drives her Giant Clownfish straight into Crownguard with enough force to send her flying. [[MadeOfIron Crownguard doesn't even budge]].

* PunchedAcrossTheRoom: In Episode Four, [[spoiler: Apephet]] punches Tyria so hard [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse that she disappears for the remainder of the video]].

* SelfDeprecation: In Episode Three, one of Yaya's hats is a piece of paper with the [=URL=] of [=YayaFingerButters=]'s Patreon page written on it. The hat is [[StylisticSuck intentionally]] cheap-looking, starkly contrasting the other more detailed paper hats, and it isn't on-screen for long before Tyria slices it in half.
** Curiously, this is the first time [=YayaFingerButters=] has directly advertised their Patreon page in a video since its creation more than two years prior.

* WhipPan: This seems to be a new development in [=YayaFingerButters=]'s [[SignatureStyle animating style]].
** In Episode Two, the camera follows [[ItMakesSenseInContext Yaya and the giant clownfish]] in this manner.

** [[RuleOfThree Three]] whip pans occur in Episode Four.

* BlatantLies: Meta example in Episode One -- after Tyria [[HeadDesk smacks her head]] into the Plot Device, the video smash-cuts to the credits, which begins with "The End". [[SpoiledByTheFormat If you look at the scrollbar on the video player]], you'll see that the video hasn't even reached the halfway point.
* BloodlessCarnage: The series is very light on gore.

** Episode Two seemingly explains the existence of the giant clownfish that appeared in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlYoy2WqtPM a few]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0G4TNFXMsM&t=1m26s older videos]] on [=YayaFingerButters=]'s channel.

* NoSell: Early in Episode Two, Yaya accidentally drives her giant clownfish straight into Crownguard with enough force to send her flying. [[MadeOfIron Crownguard doesn't even budge]].

*** There are numerous cuts that put the camera at all sorts of extreme angles and positions. Later episodes established a standard position for the camera with relatively little variation, trading the extreme angles for more camera motion.
*** Most of Tyria's movements are accompanied by a distinct stock "shifting clothes" sound effect. Subsequent episodes replaced these with original sound effects.
*** The stock sound effect was later repurposed as the noise the Plot Device button makes when pressed.

*** Tyria's hair is rather conspicuously animated. In following episodes, hair animation is subtle at most.
*** This gets [[ZigZaggedTrope zig-zagged]] in Episode Four -- some moments have conspicuous hair animation while others don't.
