A Blood Knight could have "pacifistic tendencies" in the sense described. For instance he could say that War Is Hell, be distraught at the more hellish aspects(suffering of civilians for instance) but say that as he can't stop war and war is his job, he might as well enjoy it.
One thing to note is that if the difference between Cultured Badass and Warrior Poet becomes to annoying again, we really should put our effort into modifying Cultured Badass. For one thing we have a lot of Badasses. For another, the phrase "warrior poet" is, well poetic.
My Namesakes
Would a Blood Knight who reads poetry when not fighting count as this or Cultured Badass?

Probably more Cultured Badass. Read the trope description for this page. The Warrior Poet has, on some level, pacifistic tendencies, in that he no longer considers living and dying by the sword as the one and only way do things.
"Pacifistic" means "not considering living and dying by the sword as the one and only way to do things"? Wouldn't that make almost every warrior a pacifist?
