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.

  • Obsession: a Novella-Like Show

    So, I clicked on this series and wasn’t too sure what to expect. I heard about it from someone in a literary cafe. They mentioned that they would turn on the audio description for the sex scenes, but didn’t enjoy it. They asked me to watch it and see what I think. I made a…

  • Beach Read by Emily Henry: Finding Safety in Stories

    After the last romance I read, it’s only fair that I get to review a good one. I read this book at the right time. Synopsis Two authors have serious writer’s block. Augustus Everett writes literary fiction while January Andrews writes romance. For the next three months, they’ll be living in neighboring beach houses. One…

  • Audio Description of How to Get Rich

    This documentary series is similar to How to Build a Sex Room. Maybe I’ll rewatch it and talk about the audio description, but it has a similar format. When it comes to the audio description, I’m not impressed. It’s the same standard, boring style. There’s only one thing I liked. For those unaware, audio description…

  • All Good People Here by Ashley Flowers: I Don’t Think I like This Ending

    I picked this book up because it was a recommendation from a friend. The main thing that interested me was the writing style. It’s one I’m very familiar with, so I put it on my TBR. Synopsis A journalist returns to her small town to care for her uncle. There, she learns of the disappearance…

  • Audio Description of The Ultimatum: Queer Love

    So, The Ultimatum is back. This time, it’s queer. It’s also not hosted by the Lacheys. I enjoyed this one a lot more than the original. If you remember, I didn’t enjoy the audio description of the original show. For those unaware, audio description is a separate audio track added to visual media that describes…

  • My Experience at the Museum of Modern Art

    A few weeks ago, I was invited to two different events revolving around art. The first was a discussion on art and audio description. Unfortunately, I couldn’t go. I had a prior commitment that I completely forgot about before I accepted. I had to cancel. The second was an outing to the Museum of Modern…

  • Fairy Tale by Stephen King: I Found a New Favorite Book!

    Fairy Tale is the second book I read by Stephen King. I have an entirely different experience with this book than Sleeping Beauties. If you’d like to see my review of Sleeping Beauties, check it out below. I recommend that you read it before continuing this one. That way, you can compare my two different…

  • Audio Description of Queen Cleopatra

    Netflix notified me about this series. I was already planning to watch it when I saw the title, but, when I saw the trailer, I knew I would be watching it the day of release. Because this is a drama documentary revolving around historical events, I was very curious how the audio description would be.…

  • Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher: Three Tasks to Kill the Prince

    I heard about this book through the podcast Unresolved Textual Tension. Check out their review below. The first time I saw the review, I didn’t finish it. I decided it would be better to read the book first, so I recommended it for Envision’s College Success Program’s book club. It was the selection for March,…

  • Audio Description of The Mole

    When I watched Perfect Match, a bunch of different reality shows was mentioned. This one was one of them. It was the only one I was interested in watching based on the premise. For those unaware, audio description is a separate audio track added to visual media that describes visual aspects. This is mainly intended…
