 In the first gif, a tower protrudes from a wall on the right-hand side of the image. The tower itself is only a little taller than the wall and tapers to a stop about two-thirds of the way up the image. A vine can be seen climbing the right side of the tower. The rest of the gif is of the ocean, with the sky in full view. Mountains can be seen faintly in the distance. Clouds slowly cross the sky and the waves move gently towards the left of the gif. 

 The second gif is of a courtyard. There is a fountain in the middle of the courtyard in the foreground, with an abstract, geometric shape spewing the water. Surrounding the fountain are the walls, with arches and windows placed throughout. A low wall surrounds the courtyard in front of the higher wall and stops about a third of the way into the picture from the left. About one-fifth of a tree can be seen on either side of the image, and from the left-hand one, a few leaves fall to the ground.

The third gif is of a tunnel. There are two torches placed inside on the walls, one very close to the camera and one further away. The first torch is on the right side of the wall and the second torch is on the left side, and they are flickering brightly. A bit of green grass, water, and the sky are just visible outside the exit of the tunnel. The tunnel is made in a sloping arc and has intricate patterns along the sides. 

The video pans to the right, up the hill, which is green except for a few small, snowy patches, before turning around completely to see the train tracks as the train moves along.

This little blanket burrito penguin has an important message for you! 🐧💕You’re going to be great.

In the first, the penguin is facing the camera and the text reads “I know it’s a tough world out there.”

In the second picture, the penguin is tilted to the side and the text reads “it’s certainly not easy…”

In the third picture, the penguin is facing away from the camera as if unwrapping itself and we can see a few letters of the message “eve ou!” While the text reads “so it’s okay to feel worried or scared.”

In the fourth picture, the penguin appears to have rolled to the other side and we can see a few more letters of the message “elieve you!” And the black text reads “but you know what?”

The first depicts two chubby cat heads, one grey and one white with brown and black patches near its ears, happily nuzzling each other’s cheeks whilst surrounded by yellow hearts and diamonds.

The second shows a similar pair of cats holding each other’s paws in a circle whilst surrounded by hearts and diamonds coloured in pink, yellow, purple and white.

Don’t give up! 💪 You ARE strong enough, even if it doesn’t seem like it.

The second image shows the same chick, having pushed the boulder about halfway across the path. Three beads of sweat are drawn, and there are lines near its feet to show movement. Text in the same location as the previous image reads, “but somehow, some way…” in the same font as the previous image.
