thehostwriter

Ian is the greatest! He doesn't care whether you're alien or human. Plus he's massive. hehe, I love broad football type guys! <3

Ya, we know symone. Ur sig on the other site comes to mind.

Symone's sig:
EMMETT IS MINE!!!!!!!

My icon says it all!
EDWARD AND IAN
WishingWantingWilling

yea i love ian best in the host
but i think edward still beats his butt
XDD

which is y he is #2 *points to sig*
i'lljumpforyou

Ian is... incredible.
that pretty much sums him up
IanRoxMySox

Edward still rox much better than Ian
i'lljumpforyou

yeah, but Edward is for Bella.
i've realized now that if edward ever came for me, i'd probably decline (especially now) .
there is nothing like edward and bella, she brings out the best in him.
and i guess the same can be said for ian and wanderer, but idk, ian is just... human i guess? so i love them both equally Smile
IanLover

I think I would end up picking Ian over Edward. It would be really cool the have a vampire boyfriend but I think I like Ian better.
IanRoxMySox

Well, I can understand that...
But I still love Ed more than Ian
IanLover

To each there own :p
stepheniemeyerisamazing

hehe...I love both Ian and Edward...i don't know if I would pick Ian over Edward or visa versa...as terrible as this sounds...if I were to meet them...I would want to just meet one...or I'd pick Edward...=P...agh...SM creates so many amazing guys...it's so hard to pick...=)

Yeah I know what you mean. I would really pick Edward but that's what 99% of her fans are going to do so that's why I chose Ian because he is as good as Edward and most people won't pick him.
stepheniemeyerisamazing

I see your point...though when I say I'd pick any one I feel like a traitor to the other...but still...Edward...I think it's because I've known Edward for so much longer...but there is no doubt that Ian is absolutely fantastic and amazing and kind...and lovable...and amazing...=)
IanLover

Yeah that is true.

The only advatage Edward has on Ian is being immortal and being a vampire. Otherwise they are pretty much equal.

I think we all agree with that!

Personally, I think Ian is kind of like Edward. I mean, they both are protective (except Ian isn't annoyingly protective), he's very... romantic? Maybe that's the word. His dialogue is similar to Ed's, as he says stuff like "I held you in my hand, Wanderer, and you were beautiful". Also, he has a family member that dislikes his love.
I think that a ton of the characters in the Host have some of the same characteristics of the Twilight characters.
Jared is really good at fighting and the survival life, like Jasper. Jeb is insanely curious like Aro, Jamie kind of reminds me of Seth in some parts, Wanda is sooo much like Bella... in almost everything.

What do you think?

I agree with most of it. I have a question though. HOw is Jeb like Aro? I havent read the twilight books in a while so my memory is a lil dusty.
stepheniemeyerisamazing

whoa...I never noticed that?! Well kind of with bella and wanda and Ian and Edward...but the rest I didn't notice...nice observation...but still...some of the other characters were original...just some of the main ideas resembled Twilight a little...Stephenie Meyer is great at coming up with new characters...but still encorperating the main Characteristics that we love...yaay for her...=)

Well, they're not THAT alike. I mean, Jeb's more courteous. Mostly it's cause they're insanely curious. That's both of their primary characteristics, in my view.
Actually, I think that the books have a huge similarity. SM is really into different species. It's funny - the vampires in Twilight could be connected to the humans in the Host. Ian (who's like Edward) happens to fall in love with someone he originally tired to kill (Edward just thought about it...), and a family member ends up hating what his girlfriend is. Both happen to fall in love with a different species, and both girls are similar.
It's just a little theory I have, and maybe I'm construing all kinds of things out of nothing.  Wink  Idk. It's just interesting.
WishingWantingWilling

i never thought of the jeb and aro~and the seth and jamie

but i agree with those more than the rest
seth was very optamistic in breaking dawn and jamie is too
and i see the insane curiosity thing too XDD
IanRoxMySox

Jeb and Aro....
hmmm-gonna have to think on that one.
Aro's more...enthusiastic than Jeb tho, but the curiousity thing is hitting almost dead on
thehostwriter

*plugs her ears* la la la la la!!! no more recycling of the characters. Ian is like himself, Jeb is like himself, Edward is like himself and Aro is like himself.  please stop trying to change it. Crying or Very sad
IanRoxMySox

I agree with that motion...
And 3rds?
WishingWantingWilling

yea 3rds, i agree as well

though thats gunna bug me.. XD
IanRoxMySox

Ya but we should stop messin with SM charectors
thehostwriter

I agree with Vampyress!!!! I'm sure SM wants her characters to not be compared with each other. No matter the similarities.
IanRoxMySox

Ya, and besides she worked hard on both books and If you wrote a MAJOR series and then a quote on quote "smaller" book ur charectors would be semi-similar 2.
Ian's_wanda

ian is really cute to me i love him...he remindes me of a mixture of jacob and emmett and a little of edward too and wanda remindes me of a mixture of bella and roseily
thehostwriter

i'm glad you love him... but please don't compare him to the Twilight characters. I'm trying to break the thoughts... it's annoying hearing who they're like.
stepheniemeyerisamazing

YAAAYY FOR IAN WOOT WOOT...hmmm...wonder what he's doing right now...
.the.host.with.the.most.

i am absolutely in love with ian
i mean how could you not be
but i have been searching the book and the internet to try and find out how old he is..
i would love to have a description and his age.
we get a few pieces of info. i know he is tall and muscly and has dark hair but that about it.. anyone care to help/?
stepheniemeyerisamazing

hmm...i would..but i think SM left out what she wanted to in order for us to have room to envision Ian the same yet different...each of us adding our own little tweeks
Pet

which would be really frustrating, if they turned the host into a movie, because the actor wouldn't match up to what we had all envisioned as our perfect character.
i'lljumpforyou

hmm yes, it seems like that would be a little frustrating .. *cough*edward*cough*
Pet

what a perfect example =P
stepheniemeyerisamazing

hahahaahhahahahah...agreed...=)

Ok, I'm going to get a lot of flack for this one. I don't like Ian very much. I can buy that he changes his opinion for Wanda from kill on sight to eventualy falling in love with her over a period of time. That I get. But he is in my opinion not a very good person for his disreguard for Mel. It's her body after all, and she's still in it.  She still feels whats happening to it etc. And he still was putting the moves on Wanda? EWWW!

KAT
Ian<3

Okay, this one hasn't been written on in a long time and Ian deserves better!!
I can totally see why Kat doesn't like Ian, though I absolutely do not agree! I love him! He is incredibly sweet and caring. And I know how he kinda doesn't seem like he cares about Mel but I think he does. I mean he never keeps going if Wanda asks him to stop. But he loves Wanda, and he wants to be close to her. To sum up I love IAN!!!

Because he doesn't want to get punched.  Razz

But really, I think it's just a respect in general.
I mean, who would kiss someone if they knew they didn't want to be kissed?
Ian<3

He does the first time, but the after that he doesn't keep doing it. He only does after that when she asks him to or when Wanda kisses him, he kisses back
Top_Kat

The point is that he only stops because Wanda asks him. Because Wanda says Mel would give her a hard time. He seems to just want Mel to deal with it, even though she is there and feels everything. Its her body, not Wanda's, even if she has purloined it for the moment. Ian is kreepy!

Ian_is_my_life

Oh my I fell in love with Ian, more than I fell in love with Edward. And I thought that would never happen. He will love you no matter whether you are human or an alien, he likes a girl for their personality and that is so adorable as most guys don't!!
Summer Song

I don't like Ian.. He's too fake.. srry Ian-lovers. no offense intended
analovesgreen

Ian!
lol I love Ian because he didn't care if Wanda was a parasite...he still loved her and cared for her.
He's so sweet!
