examining the instructions, particularly the details for determining the golden numbers and the Dominical letters, I have produced an approximate translation. while the translation is certainly not refined, it captures the essence of the knowledge needed to utilise the relevant information.
The shorter circle, whose title is "THE CIRCLE WHEREIN
[are] THE GOLDEN NUMBERS", contains the golden
numbers in the form of Roman numerals so arranged, as
for the various Epacts of the centuries, and in the below
cells is presented the letter of martyrology. These positions
are to find, after the Epact is found, the golden numbers.
However, the method to know these golden numbers is
concise: The numbers of the year, of which you inquire,
add a single unit, divide the resulting sum by 19, and what
is left is the golden number of the same year. If there is
nothing remaining, the golden number is 19. For example,
1746. Add 1. Divide the resulting sum by 19, and the
remaining is 18, which is the golden number of the year
1746. So, the golden number will be in the cell below the
position found by the Epact. And the purpose of the letter
of martyrology, provided that the word corresponds with
the INDEX by the hundredth.
For the Domincal Letters. To find the Domincal letter of
each year is the same proportion, and in this manner the
golden number. The number of which you inquire, add 9.
Divide the resulting sum by 28, and for the remainder
consult the first column of the table, whose title is "THE
TABLE OF DOMINCAL LETTERS", which stands to the
lower left side. And so, I say, the number will be shown
exactly by the region of the year in question. However, if
there is nothing remaining, it will be found from the area
by the last number 28. For example, 1746. Add 9. Divide
the resulting sum by 28, and the remaining is 19, the
number in this case provided by the table, the letter of the
year 1746, which will be the letter B. It must be observed,
from the seven columns of the letters are arranged for the
differing ages, which stands the hundredth.
of particular note, the bottom-most portion of the instructions appears to provide vital information for the broader use of the perpetual calendar as it contains details regarding information such as leap years. I have not yet translated this portion of the text but it is my next task.

Do you think Philip would have dreaded living long enough that the time he spent with his brother alive became less than the time he spent without? Because I do

Giorno Giovanna from JoJo: Golden Wind, and more specifically, is there a better route than linking him to Jotaro Kujo, since that'd be a pretty easy 4 (Giorno -> DIO -> Jotaro, who has a Ryu number of 2.)
Giorno Giovanna has a Ryu Number of 3.
(For clarification, see Gyro Zeppeli.)

Seb? Underrated? Nonsense!
My MC would give their life for him. Their career, their friends, music, you name it. They'd give anything up for a normal life with Seb and Maya. For a normal family and a home full of joy and love. Nothing else is worth more than this. Seb has them in a chokehold your honor.
Happy to see Sebastian is still #1 in some people’s hearts! I quite literally have not seen an ask about him since clearing out my inbox. (Maybe that’s just me missing some but 😭)
