The way that Peacemaker season 1 plays out has me assuming that Peacemaker has known he is bi well before Rick Flag Jr, the way that Auggie is distainful of it gives the impression that this is a long standing tension between them.
I have always found that interesting too, that despite how he grew-up and his dad being Nazi and although they clearly would never have talked about it explicitly, the fact Chris is bisexual is like an open secret between them and iirc Chris doesn't try to deny it or anything.
So I think that Chris wouldnt at all be surprised to be attracted to Rick Flag Jr but his sincere believe in Rick Flag Jr's style of heroism challanged a lot of his core believes and shook him up.
Which leads me to like how eager Chris is for Harcourt's love and acceptance because I do believe he loves her romantically but I also think that almost desperation for it is in part fueled by left over by the influnce of his father, who believed that a man that was truly successful got the love from the crowd and the girl and I think if we find out that in Earth X, Chris 2 had the option of a relationship with Harcourt but was medicsting on drugs because he was also attracted to Rick Flag Jr, then Chris 1 would have a real like mental break down.
Sorry that didnt really go anywhere I'm just thinking of what a pay-off that would be for Chris's arc this season
Fairss, ive seen season 1 ages agoo, my memorys not that great. It creates such an interesting dynamic with Chris and his dad.
As for Harcourt and Chris, yeah, you can feel the desperation and clinging to that connection. Especially bc it seems like Chris thinks This Is It, his last and only chance at love, and he seems to be forcing parts of him to fit this idea that he has. It would certainly be eye opening and a revelation for him to find out that x-Chris and Rick Flag were in lovr or an item or exes, and how he maybe can find happiness and/or love in a ways he doesnt expect
Cant wait for new episode, we shall see how close we are in our theories
