You have discovered a peculiar bestiary on the internet. Here there be critters.

A doodle of a smiling, wide-eyed frog with a sketchy space pattern all over its body, a mysterious question-mark-like sigil on its belly, and a many-petaled flower growing out of the top of its head sits in front of an image of a sunset. To the upper left, bold capital letters ask, "Remember joy?" To the right, smaller lower-case letters say, "It's coming back."
A small doodle of a cartoon cat with a starry space pattern instead of fur, three eyes, and spiky lightning-bolt whiskers tenderly holding a heart with the trans pride flag fcolors on it. Surrounding the cat's head are the handwritten words, "Why can't we give love that one more chance?"
A basic black and white version of the doodle of a starry-eyed cartoon rat with weird whiskers in a large, vaguely pope-styled hat reappears here.
A bizarre and inexplicable parody of a Pogues album cover. The famous French artwork _The Wake of the Medusa_ has had three colorful doodles of cartoon rats with starry eyes and large Pope-style hats superimposed on it. In addition, it features colorful text titling the album, "Tequila, Tribadism, and the Trash," by the Ratican City Hopes.
The doodle of a three-eyed cat with electric whiskers tenderly holding a pink heart in her paws has been placed on a white background with words above and below: "When you are confused about power" (top) "remember love" (bottom), which is a quote by Victor Anderson, the founder of the Feri Tradition of witchcraft.
A simple pen doodle of a cat-like creature, cleaned up digitally. She has three eyes, but only the third eye is open; the normal two are peacefully closed. Her whiskers look like little lightning bolts, and she holds a heart (colored dark pink) in her little paws.
The sacrificial puppy from previous posts in this thread is depicted in black marker with wavy angel wings and a shining halo above her head.
Art paper featuring a simple doodle of a dog: blocky ears with one slightly folded, stars for eyes, a heart for a nose, and a little tongue sticking out of its mouth; the sketch is in magenta-purple ink, as are the words below it, starting with "sacrificial puppy." Beneath that is more, starting with "for Queen Hekate, goddess of the crossroads" and then an additional prayer: "Banish the spectre of old poison here in this place and wash away the wickedness of what came before." The paper is lit in warm orange light and scratched many times over in frustration in various places with a fountain pen that was not producing ink.
The video opens with a closeup of a simple doodle of a dog: blocky ears with one slightly folded, stars for eyes, a heart for a nose, and a little tongue sticking out of its mouth; the sketch is in magenta-purple ink and lit by flickering firelight. The frame zooms out to reveal first the words "sacrificial puppy," then further text: "for Queen Hekate, goddess of the crossroads" and then an additional prayer: "Banish the spectre of old poison here in this place and wash away the wickedness of what came before." The frame zooms further out to reveal the paper is on a spiral notebook lying on the hearth in front of a blazing chiminea in the night-time shadows. The photographer rips this sheet of paper off the notebook, crouches in front of the open mouth of the chiminea, and quietly recites the prayer on the paper before putting the paper into the flames, where it burns up.
