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.

  • Audio Description of Money Shot: The Story of Pornhub

    Out of all the audio descriptions I’ve critiqued so far, this one made me consider something I never thought about. I really should have, considering this is visual media. I think it slipped my mind because I don’t usually consume this kind of content. It’s not engaging enough for me. For those unaware, audio description…

  • Castles in Their Bones by Laura Sebastian: The First Step Is Marriage

    I’ve only reviewed one book by Laura Sebastian, but I’ve read all their work. I’ve enjoyed everything I read. My favorite is Half Sick of Shadows, a reimagining of the King Arthur story. If you want to see my review for Into the Glades, check it out here. Into the Glades by Laura Sebastian: Magical…

  • Audio Description of The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On

    Two weeks ago, I critiqued the audio description of Perfect Match. I decided to stick with the Lacheys again for this and torture myself by watching The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On. Yes, I enjoy trash TV, but, honestly, I would have preferred to watch this without audio description. It would have been more bearable.…

  • A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham: I’ve Read Better, But I’ve Also Read Worse

    This book was Envision’s College Success Program’s book club’s selection for January, 2023. If you are a college student who is blind or visually impaired, this may be a good resource for you.

  • 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…
