Anyone Else Find It Mildly Annoying When Fics Refer To The Fives Powers As Like Teleportation Teleports

Anyone else find it mildly annoying when fics refer to the five’s powers as like “teleportation” “teleports” or “porting”

Like it's not a problem and no hate to all the fic writers that do this, it's just very... it removes the immersion yknow? cos the show explicitly doesn’t use that word, like it makes a point of only every saying blinking or jumping or time travel.

You can get a little creative without changing the vibe altogether but i feel like “teleport” is not in their vocabulary

I think if they had called Five’s powers "teleportation" it would've made the show have a more distant, less character oriented, and more comic book oriented vibe. cos their powers are supposed to be unique to them, not a trope (even if they sometimes are tropey). It’s partially a tone thing, and partially a worldbuilding thing: the siblings probably named their powers as kids before things like teleportation were even a word they knew how to pronounce, hence blink (bc they blink and he’s gone) and jump (bc Five consistently has to walk into his powers rather than simply disappear).

This also applies to Allison’s powers being called rumours and not mind control.

Also feel free to put in the tags what language(s) you learned!

i love talking about my character(s). i love making silly little headcanon posts and writing multiple paragraphs to analyze the smallest topics. i love coming up with different ideas and concepts and developing their dynamics with other characters. so send me random questions that prompt me to talk about my character(s). give me things to talk about, from silly, mostly irrelevant things to important character moments to random scenarios they find themselves in. just give me a reason to talk more about my character(s).
