Starting a PhD in January, let's add learning Latin to the to-do list to keep things fun! I currently do not have a desk, but I quite enjoy my little setup (of course feating lofigirl)

I tried to translate Desert Song (My Chemical Romance) into Latin !! If anyone happens to have any reccomendations for grammar or vocab I'd love to hear it because so frankly this was done in an hour of pure delusion and a dream, I know it's not complex or completely accurate
Tenemus ferrum et fidem in cordibus
Movent nebulae, tabentes pluvia
Etiam semper deludemus
Et denique
Inventures sumus viam
Manebimus per corpe caedeque
Et venis testari aut sanguinem erades?
Tenebra, tenebra
Adveniet?
Vives vitam tibi
Cantens infero
Tenebra
Adveniet?
Video vigilare te usque
In capite
Omnia labamus?
Omnia labamus?
Omnia labamus?
Omnia labamus
Ex astris in viam
Ex lecto in terram
Ex militia in morbum
Ex humo in cinerem
Cinis, cinis, cinis
Tenebra
Adveniet?
Vives vitam tibi
Cantens infero
Tenebra
Adveniet?
Video vigilare te usque
In capite
Omnia labamus
Etiam
Did I cry while translating book 4 of the Aeneid? Well, of course.

My inner self:I want to learn classical Latin for my Ancient Rome hyper fixation
The choir kid to occultist pipeline needs to be studied. Singing Latin hymns for 3+ years definitely had something to do with it.
So, for context, I live in Italy, and here most people are not so good with English. My mom today showed me this thing that she received form a person at work. Look at this.
Shine brike like a Diamond.
Sure.
(Also my Latin homework in the background 😭)
So insane that Latin was a language that ppl used to just speak casually. Ancient Roman babies used to babble out that lorem ipsum bullshit and it was normal. If a toddler came up to me and said "Esurio, pasce me" I'd think they were summoning a demon
