Chronological Order Of Dragon Age Games, Books, Comics, Etc.

Chronological Order of Dragon Age games, books, comics, etc.

This list is actually an approximation based on my best knowledge and research. It includes the video games, flash games, DLCs, books, comic books, and films/miniseries. I’ve included the closest dates of each item as described for the in-game calendar. Enjoy!

The * means that I’m not personally sure that these Dragon Age themed things are essential or necessary to the Dragon Age official chronological order or any character back stories, but since I have not personally looked at them I advise you to make your own decision. Plus it can’t hurt to check them out if you just want to be immersed in the world more!

something that has really worked for me in terms of self improvement is trying to form a single habit at a time. i’ve self-sabotaged countless of times trying to turn my life around in a single night, like, writing down a schedule where i’m going to wake up early, do yoga, cook my own food, work six hours and then write for another two, etc, etc, and like, that does help form a coherent picture of what you want your life to look like, it helps visualizing the path before you, but it just like… the Disorders get in the way, and even with a quote unquote healthy brain it’s not something anyone can just achieve overnight. so like, for example, last year i started forming the habit of reading for half an hour before i go to bed instead of scrolling my phone, and this year i added journaling, too. i just started forming the habit of not scrolling tumblr as soon as i wake up and i’m saving a lot of time in my mornings. and like, it wasn’t something that i immediately got used to, i was so upset the first time i forgot to write about my day or sometimes i end up googling useless stuff instead of reading a book, but now it seems more natural than not to do these things.

i think my point is, and maybe this is obvious but it truly has been a reality check and a revelation for me, is that focusing on a single, small thing is so much more helpful than beating yourself over not being able to suddenly become a healthy person with healthy habits. forming habits takes time, adopting healthy routines takes time, and trying to do it all at once is incredibly discouraging, but little things add up.

“Get Yo Life Together” Grilled Cheese

This is a recipe for a “potion” that you can actually consume! Everything in this recipe is 100% edible (barring allergies) and even fairly good for you. I’m going to post the recipe first and add the correspondence explanations and personal notes at the end.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Ingredients* Bread - 2 slices Cheese - 2 slices Bacon - 3 slices, cut in half and cooked Apples - Cored and thinly sliced Butter - 2 Tbs, softened

*Directions* Heat skillet over medium-low heat Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread Place first slice of bread into pan, buttered side down Working quickly, layer the rest of the sandwich on top of the first slice of bread in this order – Cheese – 3 half-slices bacon – Apple slices – 3 half-slices bacon – Cheese – Bread, buttered side up When first side of bread is nicely golden brown, carefully flip the sandwich Once both sides of the sandwich is cooked and the cheese is melted, remove from heat and serve.

*The Witchy Bits* As you build your sandwich, imagine that you are building your life. Each ingredient has purpose and represents pieces of your life coming together. Think about all of the things in your life that need to come together for your health, happiness, and general well-being. As you add ingredients, confirm the building blocks to yourself.

Butter, I will be accepting the changes that need to happen in my life. Bread, I will become stable and I can build my healthy relationships. Cheese, I will be joyful and grounded. Bacon, I will learn what my strenghts are and use them. Apples, I will love honestly, I will see the beauty in myself, others, and the world around me. Through these I will prosper. Bacon, I will build myself a solid foundation to learn and grow. Cheese, I am open myself the healing of the universe. Bread, I will be clear in my intent and I will stay on the path. Butter, I will nurture myself and my relationships with others.

While you eat your sandwich, visualize yourself pulling all of the pieces of your life together. Think about what needs to be done. Understand that any obsticles that stand in your way can be handled the same way you are handling your sandwich. Not all at once but rather, one bite at a time.

*Correspondences* Apple - Prosperity, love, and beauty Cheese - Grounding, healing, joy Bread - Stability, kinship, carrier for intent Bacon - Grounding and strength Butter - Soothes energies in relationships, nurturing, makes change easier

*Personal Notes* Choice of Bread - You can use whatever you’ve got on hand but my personal recommendation is sourdough. Cheese - Again, you can use what you have but I recommend either a smoked gouda or a sharp cheddar. I do NOT recommend American cheese, neither the flavor nor the texture will blend with the other ingredients. Apples - another instance of use what you have, I like Granny Smiths for this. You also want to be sure that the apples are sliced very thinly and are room temperature. If they are too thick or if they are cold it will throw off the texture of the whole thing. Hot, melty cheese will give way to cold, crunchy apples and it will be weird, trust me. Bacon - Cook your bacon before you put it on the sandwich. Depending on how crispy you like your bacon, it might also be easier to cut it into half-slices before you cook it.
