I really did get the impression the trolllets were forming directly from her intestines, though, like they seemed to be made of/growing from guts, though in a more organic way than Slan did when she appeared later. It didn't look to me like they were merely spilling out with guts.
Hmm well, I don't know. I never really thought they were being formed from the intestines, and to be honest I still don't see it when I look at the page. Besides it doesn't mean they didn't originate in the womb and only later absorbed the surrounding matter as they grew. Since they're astral creatures though, who knows?
To push speculation to the limit, maybe they do grow exclusively within the intestines. Maybe that's why Hannah was the only one to have trolls erupt from her abdomen while the others were fine: she was sodomized (that's double the sodomy here, ohohoh such wit). That model would also allow for a purely intra-species troll reproduction, and would enforce a certain form of natural selection in having the weakest trolls serve as the usual host organisms. Yet it begs the question of why trolls kidnapped and raped those women in the first place. Purely for enjoyment or simply because of Slan's influence? Not the most plausible hypothesis to me at the moment, for various reasons exposed in the thesis I intend to submit for my Doctorate of Trollogy.
OMG Aaz thanks! I missed my yoink!
Don't mention it.
