Jordan Diniz

**Jordan Diniz**, is the creator of the treatsforbeasts YouTube channel, along with being the creator and director of several of his videos. He is also a musician, whom has performed in bands, and currently plays music under the name of Sanguinarius. It is possible he is from Massachusetts.

## Before treatsforbeasts

Although the treatsforbeasts channel was created on September 26, 2009, Jordan actually began filming videos way before 2009. In a now deleted video titled "The Beast is Risen," it shows Jordan, and his friends (who probably helped him in future videos in regards to the treatsforbeasts channel), doing bizarre and sometimes funny home videos recorded around 2002-2003. These range from them goofing around listening to metal music with one friend (or Jordan) wearing a Michael Myers mask, to a Bubbles doll (from The Powerpuff Girls) being "pupeteered" while strange music plays in the background.

Interestingly enough, a YouTube channel named adrianturcher, has posted several videos years ago, with the names of several Sanguinarius songs whom have been released years afterwords; these include the song titles of "A fetish for psychos" and "Nex Memoria." It's unknown whether or not these channels (treatsforbeasts and adrianturcher) have some sort of connection, seeing how in the first Fetish for Psychos video, the recording dates back to another home recording also from 2002.

## The birth of treatsforbeasts

On September 26, 2009, the treatsforbeasts channel was created, with the first video appearing on that same day, being the famous "Who wants to gnaw on human bones" video. The video shows a pink, marshmallow-like being (obviously a guy in a suit), frolicking around in a grass field, where music which sounds like it's saying the title of the video plays.

Afterwords, the channel posted many other videos, animated and live-action, such as "Men with small hands carry very little treats to give to little girls with the sharpest little teeth," and "In Reverence for the Holy Coast."

His supposedly last video back in the day, was the famous "beasts" video, a catchy animated video, which has subtle lyrics to the failures of humanity, and it's many problems. Afterwords, many people assumed that he would never post again. That was, until three years later, he would upload again, which was the eponymous Treatsforbeasts video. He would post other videos later on in the future.

## As a musician and performing in bands

In the past, Diniz has performed in other bands, which include Thang City and The Liquid Flow performing as bass guitarist, and Holding Steady The Heartbeat of Hell as keyboardist. His music genre of choice could be considered a mix of gothic rock, heavy metal, and possibly post-punk, but probably goth, given the videos he has made surrounding dark subjects.

## Physical appearance

Jordan is most notable for having long dark brown hair, and at times is accompanied with a beard. Due to this, some say he resembles Jesus Christ. He also has an ridiculously expandable jaw, which is seen when he sings in the I me you love god video.

## Possible influences on his videos

According to a tumblr post by tumblr user sanguinarius (who coincidentally shares the same name as Jordan's current music name), states quote: "*...it’s clear that the person behind this has issues with christianity (or catholicism), and child abuse. the person behind treatsforbeasts is Jordan Diniz, as he is also the person behind sanguinarius. sin nomine is a very personal reflection of jordan’s life from what i gather. it depicts his struggles with how he views the world around him, whether that be due to personal experiences or not. at first i interpreted most of sin nomine to be the story of someone who is lgbt, but with jordan himself coming to me and telling me he is straight (POLITELY), it’s clear that is not the case. so it most likely has to do with trauma. either religious or not, or both. it even says in the song storytime (remember i mentioned it earlier?), “fast hand, white hot trauma, reverberates inside the skull. innocence and intellect raped, reveals a view of a darker world. flesh on flesh, the bonds of affection - confused for the bonds of submission and fear. self-hatred and mistrust repel all beauty that comes near.” i don’t like to say that this solidifies a personal experience, but it’s highly possible...*"
