A Daydream of a Poor Schoolgirl

Vampires and werewolves, woohoo, that sounds good.
It's not that werewolves fought vampires, but that they were obsessed with a little girl, and of course they were all little boys. This is a bowl of ecstasy soup for young teenagers.
Everything is a symbol and a suggestion, an allegory.
Not even real porn and violence.
Vampire, cold, educated, restrained, so thin that he only seduces people with his eyes, comes and goes without a trace, even abstinence, traditional, listens to classical music, lives in a minimalist forest mansion;
werewolf, warm, impulsive, muscular, Loves cliff diving, riding a motorcycle, and living a tribal life in a forest cabin.
One is noble, the other is indigenous, which one do you choose?
Typical white elitist choices, needless to say.
But what if you want both?
That's Hamlet's question: how am I going to live and die? Modern people don't go to the horns.
The last point is rather disgusting - little girls have to be broken, and often cut themselves at the juncture of life and death to bleed and sacrifice themselves, and finally get the qualification to become a noble.
The living cannot be the living dead. This is the post-colonial culture of the flat earth: half-dead.
This daydream is at its extreme. The little girl is actually going to lie in the arms of the muscular man, and let the other one watch jealously all night long, and make each other's hearts before the battle to protect her, while she pretends to sleep and listen. Such a scheming little girl, don't do it.
If you act like this, you won't be able to return to the matriarchal clan, it's just a gust of wind.

    Bella Swan: That's ridiculous.

    Rosalie Hale: No it's not. You have a choice. I didn't. None of us did. But you do and you're choosing wrong! I don't care how miserable your human life is.
