Breaking the 'Fifth Wall'

When a character in a novel, comic/manga/magazine, television show, movie, video, etc. who is able to break all four of the previous walls moves off, through, or out of the story, screen, frame, etc. and appears in reality among the audience. The same would also work if the situation was vise versa
(While watching a Deadpool movie, Deadpool stops fighting and proceeds to walk off of the screen, and approaches behind you, Breaking the'Fifth Wall' of reality) "Hey kid, this guys getting to be a real annoyance, how about we make our thoughts touch tips real quick and see if there's a better way to beat him. Know what I mean? Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, twidle in your widdle." (After sharing ideas and theories you two come up with plans and he then walks away and reappears on screen looking at the camera) "Better work kid, I have to be back at grannies with an early White Christmas party or she'll kill me." (Deadpool proceeds to look back get out from behind cover and test the plan)

*Deadpool in this instance is Breaking the 'Fifth Wall' by Disappearing from the story and reappearing by the audience, yourself, and interacted with you in person in order to share thoughts and ideas to formulate a strategy, before going back in and utilizing said strategy.*

break

when your boyfriend says you need a break bc there’s been sm going on even tho you’ve only dated for 1 month and haven’t hung out in real life yet and have only been on the phone once for less than two minutes. he was number 6 on your bsfs list bc you always responded in less than 20 minutes but he sometimes took 22 hours and 48 minutes to respond and you actually really liked him even tho it wasn’t serious yet but he told your bsf before he said you needed a break that he was gonna do it and your bsf didn’t do anything to stop him or try and figure it out before your heart got absolutely shatttered😍
