It's a minor detail but I'm so emotional over Doctor Who making the universal human language in the future based on Cantonese.
#doctor who
#doctor who spoilers
#listen there are a whole lot of loaded implications around the idea of a universal human language which i'm well aware of
#but insofar as sci fic/fantasy stories have the concept of a human 'basic' language
#it's almost always based on english/thinly evolved english
#so to have doctor who make it cantonese is hitting me real hard in the emotions
#especially because i've had so many conversations with cantonese elders about how they're afraid for the survival of the language
#because even though the cantonese-speaking diaspora is huge; future generations are so often de-incentivized to know cantonese
