I would not fuck with E.Hemingway

That fucking stare would kill at least every Pepe poster

Allow me to introduce the victor of the tournament.

>>17600113

even with the fucked up hand

René "The nazi killer" Char

>>17600113
Who is that in OP's picture?

>>17600251
Kerouac

>>17600259
Thanks. That surprises me, actually. Whilst reading On The Road, I got the impression he was a bit of a fairy.

At what age are we talking about? I could easily beat any of them when they were babies. I could probably defeat an entire army of baby writers with just one hand.

>>17600511
cringe overused joke, kys

Wilde was a pretty good boxer and tall af. Some peeps tried to pick on him in college and he beat the shit out of them despite being outnumbered. Which makes his argument with Queensbury all the funnier

Yes.

>>17600170
Guy looks like he's made of stone

>>17600567
He wanted to have rock-hard abs. The training program worked a little too well.

Couldn't even beat up Orson Welles when they had a fight over whether or not Hemmingway's books were gay.

>>17600681
It was kind of just a fat man belly bumping.

>>17600681
Orson Welles was super heavy weight class and could crush anyone who fucked around. Hemingway is too manly for you

>>17600711
Their fight was in Welles' earlier days when he was just a soft somewhat pudgy actor/director; it was *well* before he ballooned into a small planet.

>>17600385
YES

>>17600268
He wasn't a bruiser, but he apparently kicked a fair amount of ass in his day and also helped cover up a murder kek

>>17600385
This champ here

>>17600268
He was a Québécois bvll

>>17600681
>>17600741
They weren't even that tall by today's standards.

>>17600144
he looks manly overall yet his left tit pokes out like he has gyno. low t symptom.

that could be why he off himself

>>17601783
He offed himself because his brain quite literally could not feel pleasure anymore.

>>17601799
I have the same symptom.

>>17600385
Based!

RG was pretty tough. To start with he fought through the whole of the First World War as an officer.

But also at school he got bullied all the time because a) he had some German ancestry and b) he wrote poetry. Eventually he joined the boxing club and found he had quite the knack for it. He knocked about six people out and then didn't get bullied so much.

>>17600120
damn he looks cool there, I might actually read his hit now.

>>17600549
The fuck you're talking about? Cervantes was a tercio that heroically fought many battles, including the glorious Battle of Lepanto.

>>17600113
Ernst Junger, and I’m betting he could beat up all the tough writers in this thread as well

>>17600681
Orson glassed Hemingway with a bottle of Paul Masson wine

>Char was born in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue in the Vaucluse department of France, the youngest of four children of Emile Char and Marie-Thérèse Rouget, where his father was mayor and managing director of the Vaucluse plasterworks. He spent his childhood in Névons, the substantial family home completed at his birth, then studied as a boarder at the school of Avignon and subsequently, in 1925, a student at L'École de Commerce de Marseille, where he read Plutarch, François Villon, Racine, the German Romantics, Alfred de Vigny, Gérard de Nerval and Charles Baudelaire. He was tall (1.92 m) and was an active rugby player. After briefly working at Cavaillon, in 1927 he performed his military service in the artillery in Nîmes.
wtf are you talking about?

Jack Henry Abbott

>>17603676
Orson was 1000% based. One of the great persons that we've ever had. I don't think there's anyone even close to comparable today.

>>17603502
He could have killed everyone here in a jiffy.
On that note, so could Wolfram Von Eschenbach.

>>17601512
kek unrelated but funnily enough the vikings were basically just as tall as the chinese or the aztecs in their days but we have these giants in mind because of modern memes

>>17600549
jack kerouac was all-state massachusetts when he was scouted by columbia on scholarship. /lit/ won't admit it but he was literally chad

>>17600681
hemingway was old and welles was a pussy faggot and everybody involved was embarrassed by the proceedings

>>17601815
Of course you do, just watch some LoGH and have a drink of sprite and you'll be all better anon.

>>17600120
I wonder what's on the shelves behind him. Wish I could read moon.

>>17600549
are you Goku?

maybe not nowadays

>>17606338
Wtf, why do you think that?

>>17600144
>>17600148
Always found something a bit cringe about hemingways macho image. Seems very overdone and therefore soft. Reminds me of Joe rogan a little. Wasn't surprised when his sons turned out to be trans

>>17601494
>He was a Québécois bvll
What does that mean?

Half the replies are soldiers even though the prompt is “beat up”— not every hardened WWI vet was an expert hand-to-hand fighter. Also, Hemingway’s “boxing” was apparently a load of horse shit, and he’s actually quite fat with little arms. Kerouac was a real meathead so maybe he could beat me up.
Hemingway, even at his prime, would lose in a fight with me. I probably bench his body weight now when he was my age. Probably not when he was older because his gut’s so huge, but he would’ve been slow.

>>17601494
His parents were French-Canadian. Canada's French province is Quebec, but he was from Massachusetts.
>>17603523
Source?
Also, Hemingway got knocked out in a boxing match by Callaghan after Fitzgerald let the round run over time because he was jealous of Hemingway's middle-class concision.

>>17605874
A chad who had homosexual relations with at least two other men. But yes, generally speaking I agree. He was known to be handsome, strong, and a womanizer.

>>17605877
Mostly because the so-called 'man's man' that Hemingway claimed to be couldn't even hold his own against a boy who was (at the time) an effeminate theater fop.
