the thing about colum that i love but no one ever talks about is that like. he’s blond. he’s canonically blond. he’s not even platinum white-blond like silas he’s literally just blond. run of the mill blond. dirty blond, maybe. you know when a blond guy has a beard and it’s hard to tell where his skin ends and the beard begins? that’s literally colum:

“Outside his uncle's shadow he was just as patchy and discoloured, as though he had a liver inflammation; he was still a leathery yellow-brown, and his hair was similar, which made him look the same all over.” (GTN ch. 28)

he’s blond. blolum is real

...wait where was Ianthe keeping Babs' corpse stashed this whole time?

Did he get installed in his own little mausoleum on the Mithraeum, and she just picked him up when she needed something to drive on New Rho? Did he get shipped to Third House, so that she needed to pop back home a mo and grab him like a quick run down to the shops?
