* RapeAsDrama: While the twin's entire backstory is a ridiculous chain of terrible events that keep outdoing themselves with how horrible they are, their time at the Lake Lodge is, while presented in an uncannily neutral tone, easily the most gruesome chapter of their life. It's a child brothel and a child porn production site run by a middle-aged woman who introduces all her clients to the children as their "uncles", and the sexual acts they're forced to perform with them as "games". Some clients get especially violent with the girls. Whenever any of them object to this abuse, Mrs. Boulger tells them that "family is family" and "blood is thicker than water".

* ResentfulGuardian: Not quite averted, but certainly not a straight example of this. Their different caretakers are not willfully abusive but, if anything, negligent. It's mentioned that their parents were most excited about the extra helping hands they would get on the farm once their twins would be born. The doctor that tried to seperate them with a chainsaw did so because he thought it would liberate them. The Chicken Man isn't keeping them locked up in a coop on a diet of egg booster out of cruelty, but because he simply doesn't know any other way of caring for someone. And while Mrs. Boulger exploits the children at her orphanage, [[AccompliceByInaction lets them be brutalized by suitors]] and kicks children out with nowhere left to go once they turn too old, she herself isn't described as cruel or resentful towards the kids.
