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.

  • 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…

  • Sparrows in the Wind by Gail Carson Levine: I Got Uncomfortable, But Still Enjoyed the Story

    I was not always an avid reader. I enjoyed stories, but the act of reading drained my energy even before I picked up a book. It always felt like a chore to do so. When I got into the story, however, I forgot that fact. The problem was physical Braille books. Sighties get to have…

  • Audio Description of Orgasm Inc: The Story of OneTaste

    I found this documentary by chance browsing through Netflix. I decided to pay extra attention to the audio description and here are my thoughts. For those unaware, audio description is a separate audio track added to visual media that describes visual aspects. It’s mainly intended for blind and visually impaired audiences, but can be enjoyed…

  • Lightlark by Alex Aster: Not As Bad As It’s Made Out to Be

    Lightlark has some bad reviews. A lot of the criticism is valid, but part of what made this book infamous is the author. Controversy surrounds them. I won’t talk about this, but, basically, this book was sold on TikTok. Refer to this video if you want to know the controversy surrounding the author. Personally, I…

  • Audio Description of The Circle

    I’m so excited to write this audio description review for my favorite reality show, The Circle. It’s so much fun to watch and, if you want something easy to engage with, this is it. All reality shows are easy to engage with, but The Circle is very game-centered, so it’s fun. For those who are…

  • Grown by Tiffany D. Jackson: Ignore Everything Under the Guise of Finding the Truth

    Another Tiffany D. Jackson book. This means that it’s another interesting story. I previously reviewed The Weight of Blood. Refer to this post if you’re interested in my thoughts. The Weight of Blood by Tiffany D. Jackson: Maddy Did It Honestly, it’s hard to come up with something to say after reading a Tiffany D. Jackson…

  • Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King and Owen King: An Interesting Future

    This is my first Stephen King book! I’m so happy to finally say that. For a few years, I’ve been trying to read books by Stephen King, but I got bored very quickly. This has nothing to do with the author. I think I wasn’t ready at the time. I also think I didn’t have…

  • The Maid by Nita Prose: I Feel Cheated

    I read this book as the December 2022 Envision’s College Success Program book club selection. If you are a college student who is blind or visually impaired, this may be a great resource for you. To learn more about the program, check out their web site below. Synopsis Molly is very happy with her work…

  • Audio Description of Too Hot to Handle

    I love trash TV. It’s a great way to shut down since it’s not mentally stimulating. It’s fun. For this reason, I’ve chosen not to review these shows. I want to keep them fun and not make them into content. That changes now. Well, sort of. I won’t be reviewing Too Hot to Handle. There…
