Every color of the rainbow.
REVEAL OUT! is a LGBT+ webcomic by Treasure Park
and Hinahina Gray.
Eeden's life is a shambles. Her art career is tanking, her landlady is evicting her, and she cannot seem to escape her abusive father's attempts to control her life. To put the icing on the cake, she just alienated the woman she has a crush on, due to fear of coming out of the closet.
Just when it seems she has nothing left to live for, she finds herself mysteriously sent back in time. Now 18 years old and just beginning college again, she vows to live life true to herself, correct her past mistakes, and get herself a girlfriend.

Tropes:
- Abusive Parents: Eeden's dad instilled fear and self-loathing in her. When she goes back in time, she vows to stand up to him and cut him out of her life properly.
- Can't Take Anything with You: Zig-zagged. Eeden does initially have some papers from the future, and is able to use one to warn Ms. Sunny of her future death. But they start disappearing soon after. She’s actually relieved because she believes it means she’s changing things for the better.
- Closet Gay: Eeden was in the previous timeline. When she goes back in time, she almost immediately blasts out of it at full force.
- Coming-Out Story: The Speed Run version. In the previous timeline, Eeden could not admit her sexuality due to her father's abuse. When she goes back, one of the first things she does is announce to everyone that she's "MASSIVELY SUPER DUPER MEGA ULTRA SUPREMELY GAY!"
- Cranky Landlady: The comic staris with Eeden's landlady banging on the door screaming for late rent. Eeden avoids answering and goes for a walk. When she comes back, she finds herself evicted and her stuff on the street being looted by passers-by.
- Like a Duck Takes to Water: Eeden is overjoyed to be back in the past. Armed with knowledge of her previous missteps, she's quick to make better choices, such as confidently proclaiming her orientation, flirting with her crush and resolving to stand up to her father.
- Set Right What Once Went Wrong: Eeden immediately starts trying to change the past to insure she (and her friends) have a better future.
