It does sometimes feel a bit pretentious. Like, no no, these pocket-sized humans with wings and ~~fairy~~ sparkle dust, they're not fairies. They're actually farfalles, because they've got a heavy Italian accent, you see.

I guess, when everyone does it, then it isn't actually pretentious anymore, but yeah, still a bit close for comfort...
