Mesolithic Harpoon Head, 4500 BCE, Stewartry Museum, Kirkcudbright, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland

This is a 6500 year old harpoon made from a Red Deer antler and found in the River Dee. It is of a similar type of harpoon to those found in Mesolithic caves or rock shelters near Oban. This piece has been carbon dated to around 4500 BCE.

It took a long time for Brock to warm up to Rusty at the start, especially after having gone through the OSI training. Luckily for him Rusty does not care.

Thinking about women in the Venture Bros universe, specifically how they’re treated in the OSI vs the GCI (spoiler alert: it’s way better in the Guild)

Throughout the show we see three prominent women in the OSI: Gathers, Myra, and Amber Gold. They’re all mistreated by the organization in one way or another.

Gathers is forced to detransition to get back in because she knows it’s a boys club and there’s no way they’ll ever let a woman into a position of power.

Myra has been broken by her job and then the OSI sweeps her under the rug and tries to act like she never existed.

Amber Gold is almost never seen in the field on her own and is always accompanied by a man (Headshot and Brock).

On the other hand the women of the GCI have wayyy more agency. There are plenty of female antagonists who work on their own and are in positions of power (Vain Gloria, Mommy Longlegs, Novia). Sheila was originally an antagonist in her own right as Lady Au Pair and later became part of the council and became more important than her husband.

Hell, even Bobbi says that she basically switched sides because of how badly she was treated in the OSI.

I definitely don’t think this is just a coincidence. In many of the pieces of media that the Venture Bros takes inspiration from there are very few women, especially spies/soldiers, but there are PLENTY of villains/femme fatales. I think it's so interesting to see how women navigate a world where many of the systems are rigged against them but they still tend to win in some way regardless.
