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.
The webcomic ran from August 10, 2023 to July 31, 2025.
Provides examples of:
- 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.
- Anachronistic Clue: Eeden was able to take Ms. Sunny's obituary with her from the future, and uses it to try and convince her that she's sick and needs help. Ms. Sunny initially takes it to be a very mean-spirited prank, but believes Eeden when she notices that there's no way Eeden could've known where she wanted her grave to be. Season 1 ends with that same obituary falling out of Eeden's backpack, being the final clue for Gabe to piece together that something's up with her.
- Anguished Declaration of Love: While ranting about how much Eeden's dad sucks and how she wishes her own dad were still alive, Rose blurts out that she loves Eeden. However, Eeden was asleep so didn't actually hear it.
- Bait-and-Switch: Bell walks in on Eeden in the middle of her Love Confession to Rose, and shouts that that's not what they agreed on. It's made to look like she thinks Rose betrayed her and asked Eeden out, but she's actually reacting to Eeden's sketch for their mural, which is in a compromise between Gabe, Rose, and Bell's ideas.
- Calling the Old Man Out: Eeden finally cuts her ties with her father in the final chapters of Season 2, stating she if she can't feel safe around him, she doesn't want anything to do with him.
- 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.
- Cast Full of Gay: Aside from Ms. Sunny, every major character is LGBTQ+. Even the "token straight friend" Rose figures out that she's bisexual a single panel after she's introduced.
- Closet Gay: Eeden was in the previous timeline. When she goes back in time, she almost immediately blasts out of it at full force.
- Closet Key: Played for Laughs. Rose introduces herself as Bell's token straight friend, before being smitten with the much-more confident do-over version of Eeden and very suddenly realizing that she's actually bisexual, causing her to run off in a panic.
- 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!"
- Rose comes out as bisexual shortly after realizing it, first in private to Bell where she admitted that she also had a crush on Eeden and wanted to know if Bell was going to make a move, then again to her friends.
- The Confidant: In the original timeline, Ms. Sunny was the only person who Eeden felt comfortable enough telling she was gay. In the new timeline, she's the only person Eeden told her time travel story to.
- Cranky Landlady: The comic starts 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.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: It takes a lot of work and pain, but Eeden and her friends eventually get their happy endings.
- False Soulmate: Eeden initially believes that she was sent back so she can date Bell like she'd always dreamed, but starts to doubt that after Hayley, Bell's eventual girlfriend (and later ex-girlfriend) in the original timeline, starts hanging out with her. While trying to sort this out, she ends up falling in love with Rose, who moved away before Eeden ever got a chance to meet her the first time around.
- Fantasy-Forbidding Father: Bell's father disapproves of her artwork, calling it "doodles" and a waste of time. Her mother barely helps, supporting it as a hobby but constantly reassuring her father that she'll go seek out "real" work at some point. It's implied that in the original timeline they won, since Bell mentions that she runs a successful ad firm and not an art job like her dream is constantly shown to be.
- Generic Graffiti: At the end of S2: Episode 9, Gabe walks into a bunch of kids defacing their half-finished mural with low-effort graffiti like random swear words and the middle school "cool S".
- Jerkass Realization: Eeden has one in "S2: Episode 2" when she realizes that she had been putting Bell on a pedestal and acting on her own self interests, while not being there for Bell when she needed her most, ultimately concluding that her selfish and mean behavior is why Bell went with Hayley in the original timeline.
- 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.
- Love Triangle: Rose and Bell both end up falling for Eeden. Fighting over her was greatly hurting their friendship, so they both agreed to a truce until their mural was finished. Things got a little more complicated when Eeden asked Rose out shortly after. Ultimately, Rose wins out the triangle, with Bell going out with Hayley like in the original timeline.
- Magic Realism: Eeden being sent back in time just sort of happens for no explained reason eventually revealed to be the work of Gabe trying to help his best friend, but the comic doesn't dwell on it and is otherwise a slice-of-life romance story.
- The Perfectionist: This is revealed to be Bell's Fatal Flaw, as intense pressure stemming from her parents' high expectations (especially her Fantasy-Forbidding Father) has caused her to become extremely perfectionist and unwilling to accept compromises, as seen when she snaps at Eeden and the rest in episode 26 for trying to compromise and mesh everyone's ideas into one chaotic piece instead of going with her more technical approach.Bell: "It's not enough to just be good! It has to be perfect!"
- Rage Breaking Point: After hearing her husband berate Bell again, her mother finally snaps and tells him he can no longer tolerate someone who doesn't love their daughter as much as her. She then gives him an ultimatum: either he accepts Bell, or she's leaving him.
- Ripple-Proof Memory: Despite going back to her teenager body and making massive changes to her past, Eeden manages to retain her memories of the original timeline, which allows her to make changes that she didn't make originally thanks to hindsight.
- Set Right What Once Went Wrong: Eeden immediately starts trying to change the past to insure she (and her friends) have a better future. It's later revealed Gabe was the one who sent her back.
- Title Drop: The official name of the mural is "Reveal Out".
- "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: The finale takes place seven years after the story, showing what the cast is up to now:
- Louis and Gabe have moved back from Paris. The former now owns a restaurant while Gabe is busy with gallery shows.
- Bell and Hayley live in Wisconsin with their adopted daughter, Sophie. Bell's father is very soft around his granddaughter.
- Sunny is now the head of the art department. Eeden plans to surprise her with adult adoption papers at her birthday.
- Eeden and Rose are engaged. By sheer chance, they ended up moving into the condo Eeden was evicted from in the original timeline.
