Honey's Chats

[Jetstream - Solder]

Okay, guys, I get you're trying to portray her as a mom who's out of touch with pop culture but... Um...

Okay, Devs, brace yourselves here.

Stacy's Mom is over twenty years old. I feel like she'd probably have heard that if she was a teen in the 90s. Because I was a teen in the 90s. That song came out in 2003.

Huh, when I read/heard that line I just figured she was referencing "Stifler's Mom" from American Pie (and just changing the name... just because). I was a teen in the 90s as well but I'd never heard of this "Stacy's Mom" song before now.

Real popular song in the aughts. My point is, that's not a joke that Gen Z or Alpha kids would be making. It's a Millennial joke. It's a thing Honey's friends would've been saying :P

Honey is an adult in the 90's.
She had children and was widowed at a young age. She could of very easily missed the song.
Wasn't it one of her children's friends that mentioned it? The children are adults and have both moved out. The friends could easily be 5-10 years older than the children. Meaning they could've heard it as teenagers.

Wrong. Her age is listed as 41, meaning she was 17 in 1999, since she turns 42 later this month.

I was praying that someone wouldn't be this pedantic. That works against your counterpoint.
EVERYONE depicted in Crush Crush is 18+. She doesn't talk about Y2K meaning the chances of her being in 1999 is extremely low, especially considering how much of a big thing it is for her. This would place her as 18 in the low to mid 90's, as she goes to college after high school.

This means that the only way for an 18 year old Honey to talk to us is if the Crush Crush timeline is currently in the past. No one Ages in Crush Crush so if we want to be pedantic to the Nth degree, Crush Crush year is 2016.

Honey is 18 in 1993.

The character intro for her LTE the devs posted describes her as a 90s girl (which doesn't seem right if she's going to university in 1993 ) but it's safe to assume the wacky time travel shenaningans stuff would have happen pretty late in such a shows run ( after ratings started to drop ) so might even have been early 00s.

There's nothing pedantic about it, it's the simple truth, the canon as decided by Sad Panda. The reason I chose 1999 was not because that's the year she time travels to, it was to show, that even giving you the most leeway and choosing the very end of the 90s, there is no way she could be an adult. You're wrong, plain and simple, she was not at any point, an adult in the 90s.

Could be? I was curious, so I went looking at her Phone Fling, and most points to 90s. She mentions at the end of her time travelling shenanigans, that her phone is reverting back to 90s technology mode, and says "As we say in the 90s", plus afterwards you can say "You're not living in the 90s anymore, are you?". However she does also say that twenty years have passed, and I have no idea when she was added to the game in the form of the Phone Fling.

[kalanyr]

Checked the Wiki, looks like she initially debuted in Late July 2019 and the second set came out in early 21 (or maybe late 2020, the edit History makes it sound like there may have been a slight lag between debut and documentation ).

The ancient intro post from her debut implies being a 90s girl involves being born in the 90s but that absolutely doesn't work, because that would make her at most 9 when the first phone fling happens, if we assume it was in the 90s ( it'd have to have been 2008 for her to be 18 ).

Sounds like someone at Panda may have just messed up the maths slightly and Honey should actually be 43.

ETA -
(Hum. Actually if we assume her age is as of July 2019 or late 2020/early 2021, then that could put her going to University somewhere between 96 and 00 , which does actually work with all available info (and her being 18 or more in the initial phone fling) though the later dates work better than the earlier ones since it means she spent more of her formative years in the 90s )

Mate, she is literally the same age I am.

1: Being a "child of the 90's" does not mean you were BORN in the 90's.

2: All of this nonsense is exactly why setting a character's date of birth down to an actual year is a bad idea in a fiction where time may or may not move depending on what one is looking at, including setting in is a specific decade. Even if her age were correct right now, it'll be wrong next year. It's not as if they're keeping everyone's ages up to date in real time (it would actually be kind of Depressing if someone who was 18 at launch was 25 now).

3: Y'all are a bunch of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nerds.

This is correct. I was born in 89, but grew up in the 90s - that makes me a 90s kid.
I perhaps inherited some of the 80's kids TV shows, mannerisms, etc, but that doesn't make me an 80s kid.
Either way, love Honey!! So glad she's finally here!

I didn't look on the forums about this but the gift number required on at least the Tools is 9,171,991. Decided to look up 9-17-1991. On this day mentioned:

That's probably a reference to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beverly_Hills,_90210 , which is an *extremely* 90s show.

I meant if someone could get the first gift requirement. I was already aware of that reference.
