Quote"Warrior poet".  Someone fucking kill me.

It's probably what best applies. But then again, it's another label, which puts me right back where I started, doesn't it?

A mask is all you have - get over it. There is no Real Youtm There's just a bunch of organic slime twitching around, shitting, fucking and biting it's knuckles about the search for troof and justice and honesty and loads of other imaginary bullshit that the grand scheme of things couldn't give less of a flying fuck about if it had its wings and genitals forcibly removed.

Paint your mask however you want to and do your best to live up to whatever arbitrary collection of ideals you hold as your moral compass. Or don't - matters not a jot :lulz:

DING DING DING

I want to be The Good Reverend Roger.  There are many people I admire, and even some that I emulate as a means of improving The Good Reverend Roger, but I don't want to be a thing.

ESPECIALLY not a "warrior poet".  That means one of two things:  Someone who watches lots of anime and reads Mushashi jabbering about how cutting a rebellious peasant in half is somehow analogous to lotus blossoms on a fucking river, or someone who is dangerously close to becoming a pagantard and naming themselves Shadowthorn Moonwolf.

We must have some very different opinions on that one. But it doesn't matter anyway. I've still got a lot to learn.

What if people wear masks to hide the fact that nothing is beneath?

Edit: I see P3nt has beaten me to this point.

Oh, yeah, I forgot the Carlos Castenada bullshit.  That's another option, but it's even worse.

The last actual "warrior poet" was some British tard who was killed in WWI.  Everything since then has been utter crap.  Either warriors writing bad poetry, or poets erroneously calling themselves warriors.  Or people who are neither claiming to be both.

Even Kipling never claimed to be a warrior poet, even though most of his poems were about warriors.

Possible. I won't presume to have a clue.

QuoteEither warriors writing bad poetry, or poets erroneously calling themselves warriors.

The warrior poet is an ideal I like. That's about it.

Creativity and passion like a poet, but with the will and ability to fight for what one believes in. Not the exact definition, but that's how I interpreted it.

Oh, see, I'd define it as a warrior who writes poetry.  But I'm silly that way.

What you seem to be referring to is Pournelle's "fighting philosopher".

Fun ideals to mess around with. I say go for it but ffs drop the "warrior poet" label - makes you sound like a Braveheart fanboi
