Kyle has always been a carefree kid, working hard not to let his anxiety get in the way of his present. Sorted into Hufflepuff House, Kyle enjoys the calm nature of his fellow students and has no problem spending his evenings with a cup of tea in the common room. However, when he told his parents that he was just having a good time chilling with his classmates and attending his classes, they encouraged him to try to join a club or team to get more involved. Kyle had always had fun flying his broomstick at home in the countryside, so one of his friends suggested he try out for the house team. Just for the heck of it.
As a first year, Kyle was only able to start off as a ball boy. Then at tryouts, they chose him to be a backup Seeker. As he took part more and more in the sport, Kyle fell in love with his teammates and spending his evenings zooming around the pitch. For fun, he dares his mates to see who would get the highest before jumping off into the lake. Swimming is another strength of his, which led to his confidence in taking part in the recklessness. By his fourth year, Kyle was the main Seeker of the Hufflepuff team. His first match in the position almost led him to have a panic attack from the stress, but he pulled through and was able to at least catch the Snitch to end the game.
Ever since that day, Kyle finds that he is able to meet situations a bit more calmly than he used to. His team is always there to support him, and because they are a team they handle each loss and win together. Kyle always considers his Quidditch team friends to be some of his closest mates and tries his best to keep in touch with them when he can during the holidays. During the quarterfinals of the house cup of his sixth year, he fractured his left thumb from a Bludger to the hand that nearly knocked him off his broom (which is currently the Nimbus 2001, although his heart is naturally set on getting himself a Firebolt one day). Hufflepuff placed third in the House Cup in 2010, fourth in 2011, and first in 2013.
Now in his final year at Hogwarts, Kyle's parents are encouraging him to figure out what he wants to do once he graduates. Although Quidditch had become one of his passions, he knew he wasn't cut out to make it a livelihood. After a few summers of mowing lawns, shoveling driveways, and delivering newspapers, Kyle applied to become an intern in the Department of Magical Games and Sports at the Ministry of Magic. He wants to see the world, but he also has no problem spending his evenings at home with a cup of tea.

jumping the broom (2011) is one of my favorite comfort movies. sabrina and her are portrayed as being this affluent, cultured, and classy black family. they have their problems, of course, but i love the representation.
if you’ve followed me for any amount of time on this blog, you all know i’m a huge fan of angela basset and her work, and she is such a force of nature in this movie, how she runs her home and her family and wants the best for her husband and her daughter. she’s really that woman.
i’d recommend watching this movie if you need some visual representation of affluent, feminine, black women.
While the first day of spring technically belongs to March, everyone knows that it kicks into high gear in April. To celebrate the changing of the seasons, Hulu is finally bringing back its signature original series for April 2021.
Season 4 of the multiple Emmy award-winning The Handmaid’s Tale premieres on April 28. It’s been awhile since we’ve seen June and her dystopian world. In fact, it’s been so long that our own world decided to endure its own dystopian pandemic in the meantime. Hopefully this series’ return will mean we can keep our political and social collapses on television where they belong.
Aside from The Handmaid’s Tale, Hulu isn’t brining much else to the table in terms of originals this month. Thankfully, the one other original that Hulu has in store for April sounds completely righteous. Sasquatch, the latest docuseries from the Duplass brothers producing team, will cover exactly what the title promises. This three-part series heads off to the Pacific Northwest for a tale about an elicit pot farm and the possibility that three men were viciously murdered by Big Foot on it. Sign us up!
Library titles for Hulu in April 2021 are also pretty thin. But April 1 does feature the arrival Mad Max (1980) and Die Hard (1988). Then April 28 sees the arrival of…well, Arrival (2016). Those aren’t bad streaming options in case the weather in April decides to not be spring-like.
