Valencia CF be like: 🦇⚽🟡🔴
Tumblr media
Love the bat. It's been a symbol of València for centuries and is part of city's shield and the logo of many institutions.
Tumblr media
Shield of the city of València.
The reason is that it's associated with king James I (Jaume I el Conqueridor), who conquered València in 1238. The legend says that there was a Muslim prophecy that said that as long as bats flew over València, the city would not fall to Christian rule. When King James and his troops were stationed outside the city walls, a bat stopped on the king's tent. The king knew the prophecy, so he ordered everyone to treat the bat the best way possible so that the bat would feel comfortable and want to stay there instead of going back to the city.
Some nights after that, the Moorish troops tried a surprise attack on King James' camp while everyone was sleeping. Luckily, someone played the drums to wake up everyone and they could fight back and throw them out. After the battle, the king wanted to reward the soldier who had played the drums to wake everyone up, but then he saw that it was a bat who was banging his wings against the drum.
As a reward for the bat, he made the bat the symbol of his helmet and added it to his royal shield, which after the conquest became the city's shield.
The truth is less romantic, though. The bat wasn't part of the city's shield until the year 1377, a century after King James' death. James' successors had included a "víbria" (female dragon in Catalan mythology) to the shield, and slowly through time the drawing changed and ended up being interpreted as a bat.

The bat was officially adopted as the animal on the city's shield in 1503. Back then, in the 1500s, it was already believed that it had been James I to install the bat symbol.

That might be so, but Ace is the place with the helpful hardware folks who will outfit you and your merry band with pikes if you ask nicely and give them a little notice. For that matter, what you really want is a ditch-bank blade. Sharpen that sucker and go to it. (Fuck Home Depot, though you can also get armor there. You shouldn't, get it somewhere that gives half a fuck about quality and didn't overtly support Trump and a bunch of other Republican PACs.)
Lowes needs to up their game though.
