WHERE DID LUCIEN SAY HE WANTED TO BE BUTTERFLY WAAHHH i kinda want a butterfly tattoo along with my mars symbol so i’m. looking

It's when he's going into that magical "cocoon" thing in Cognouza and transforms to become one with the Somnovum and the city. It's just one of those glimpses of humanity, the original Lucien and that gentle, playful soul shard that became Molly. Lucien says it here to kinda reassure himself that he isn't afraid of transformation or the death of his old self, ready to be reborn.

The Lucien book has more of a personal backstory reason why he's fond of butterflies, but I think I kinda prefer the notion that he's just always loved them and wanted to be free like one :')

#lucien and molly my beloveds #little things before that last fight #like lucy saying he wanted to be a butterfly and then excitedly telling the nein to come join him and see the lovely view of the astral sea #stuff like that just makes my heart hurt #like ya #you could see how part of him used to be softer and kinder and eventually became molly ;;#also #genuinely surprised lucien never got a butterfly tattoo himself considering why he seems to like them in the book
