about

Hi, everyone! I’m Anexis and my pronouns are they/them. Nice to meet you! I’m a blind college student majoring in english with a concentration in creative writing. I’m a content creator who began on YouTube with the channel Videl Blind-The Blind Reader. I now currently run the channel Anexis Matos and no longer post on my old one. I started blogging to share my writing. I’ve always enjoyed stories. I started writing when I was between the ages of 10 and 12. My stories started out as Dragon Ball fanfiction which will never see the light of day because I deleted them. Now, I write original stories that I hope to share at some point. My aim with this blog is simply to share my thoughts on whatever interests me. From reviews to blindness, you’ll see it here.

  • Original Audio Description of Argentina 1985

    As promised, here’s my critique for the Latin American audio description of Argentina 1985. I was able to find it on Audio Vault. You’ll find that I had a very different experience with this one. For those unaware, audio description is a separate audio track added to visual media that describes visual aspects. It’s mainly…

  • Bared to You by Sylvia Day: A Better Fifty Shades of Grey

    I’ve been meaning to read the Crossfire series for some time, but I decided to pick it up this year because a friend wanted me to read it. I always complain to her that most sex scenes are boring to me. They’re written in a way that isn’t interesting to me. It’s hard to please…

  • Audio Description of Perfect Match

    Another audio description by International Digital Center. After watching Harry and Meghan, I admit I had high expectations when the end credits of the first episode ran, despite my issues. Besides my enjoyment of trash TV, I excitedly continued the show specifically for the audio description. For those unaware, audio description is a separate audio…

  • I’m Trying Serial Publishing Again

    If you recall, there was a time when I was publishing Daughter of Death chapter by chapter. However, I deleted the chapters and published the entire story. I didn’t feel like it worked. Daughter of Death is a short story, so the chapter by chapter format didn’t feel right for publishing here. I currently have…

  • Spanish Audio Description of Argentina 1985

    Before I begin, I should mention that this critique isn’t going to be like the others. The audio descriptions I tend to consume are in English. I’ve consumed a few in Spanish, but that’s no more than four counting this movie. I won’t lie. I’m a little nervous critiquing it because I have issues with…

  • Daughter of Death Is Finally Published!

    I’m very excited to announce that my debut fantasy short story, Daughter of Death is ready for preorder! I have self-published it through Smashwords and it’s currently available there as well as Apple, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo. Unfortunately, it’s not available on Amazon yet, but will be eventually. Daughter of Death follows Vivian, a…

  • Audio Description of Harry and Meghan

    I watched this documentary series before I read Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare. While the documentary series was interesting, this audio description is my favorite to critique. It’s also the most enjoyable to listen to so far. For those unaware, audio description is a separate audio track added to visual media that describes visual aspects. This…

  • Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances by Neil Gaiman

    I’ve been enjoying The Sandman. I love American Gods. Now, it’s time for Gaiman’s short stories. I found this collection when I was browsing my library for more of his work. I remember hearing this story collection’s title in passing, so, when I found it, I borrowed it immediately. It’s the first short story collection…

  • Audio Description of Pray Away

    I have an interest in religion and cults and the effect they have on people. This is why I watched this documentary. For those unaware, audio description is a separate audio track added to visual media that describes visual aspects. This is mainly intended for blind and visually impaired audiences, but can be enjoyed by…
