From my 45 collection for everyone feeling overwhelmed by the world right now. "Apeman" by the Kinks (1970) But with the over-population and inflation and starvation And the crazy politicians I don't feel safe in this world no more I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape man

Episode 2 Some great transitions in the early episodes! Victoria looking out the window to the ocean and the show's opening. Then we are introduced to another main character with a perfect 'show, don't tell' moment at the Whale! #DSrewatch

Not the most complimentary description I've heard of my bar...

The neon lights of the Blue Whale were already on by the time she parked her car on the side street close to it. The big ramshackle building in which the lounge was located was shabby looking. It's ancient clapboards were peeling paint and it seemed little like a glamor spot. Yet it offered Collinsport's only touch of nightlife and was well patronized. Visitors and the younger set gathered there.

Victoria always drew within herself when she entered the noisy, smoke-filled spot. Loud talk and raucous laughter joined with the jukebox to make a constant clamor. Once in there awhile, one became deadened to the noise.

Come the the Blue Whale where the juke box is always playing...always playing... #BlueWhaleTestimonials

A placard proclaims "Blue Whale Seaside Tavern." Carolyn stands at the bar with a drink in her hand and a tipsy expression. She's saying, "It's awfully loud in here."

Episode 1: What I really love about the first episode is how we first see everyone. Victoria on the train seeking, Elizabeth framed behind the crosshatching of the window pane like bars, Roger pouring a brandy from a crosshatched decanter (his own prison), each of them alone. #DSrewatch

A large mansion (Collinwood) silhouetted against the night sky. A few lights can be seen in the windows.

Werewolf reported in Collinsport turned out just to be a false alarm.

One of the things I love about DARK SHADOWS is that people can be confronted by the ghost of a long dead Victorian child who warns them that their long lost cousin is really a vampire, only to say “Silly ghost! Vampires can’t exist!”

The Discourse has shifted into a new phase, we have gone from "Bluesky is dying" to "microblogging is dying" "It's all irrelevant!" Remember, I am into silent movies. How much do you think relevance matters to me? 🤪

Welcome to Pride Month! This month I remind people that the Blue Whale was originally named the Rainbow Bar in the Dark Shadows story bible. Then I giggle (in a manly way). It would be decades before the rainbow became about the LGBTQ+ civil rights movement...but Dark Shadows was from the start.

Little known fact that 'Salem's Lot is just a few miles inland of Collinsport.

Blue Whale Seaside Tavern. Two men are involved in a fistfight while a crowd watches from the bar. One of them is saying "A self respecting saloon."

Call me crazy, but I like to think of the Blue Whale as a romantic bar. Couples meet here, date here, dance here, and even have the occasional fight here. For Valentine's Day I'm stocking the jukebox with the romantic greats of the 60s and even a few oldies from the 50s. Stay tuned to this thread!

Shadows of Collinwood @darkshadowssoc.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

Hello Bluesky! There are more stormy days than blue skies over Collinsport but that's why we love it. We're a Dark Shadows roleplay group migrating from the dead bird place. We're all very happy to be here and hope you will join us and find out what lurks in the Shadows of Collinwood.

Collinsport Chad might not have the fame of Punxsutawney Phil, but he has his own unique style.

Just a smalltown bartender coping with the supernatural in the 1960s. Playing music on the jukebox and sharing fancy drink recipes. 🍸 Come on down to the Blue Whale, your friendly neighborhood bar! Dark Shadows roleplayer with @darkshadowssoc.bsky.social
