Folding for Peace is a white paper garden in Nagasaki, Japan, realized by Swiss designer Anouk Vogel. The patch of faux flowers are aligned in a circular bed, angelically standing tall and vibrant against a naturally viridescent backdrop. The piece was commissioned by the Gardening World Cup and awarded the Silver Medal and Judges’ Special Award at the Festival of Flowers and World Peace.
An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury. Inspired by this popular belief, the garden Folding For Peace is the physical remain of a wish for world peace. All the plants that compose the garden are folded out of white paper.

Sherlock Holmes; Ravenclaw
I debated Slytherin for him, since he has the cleverness, wit, intelligence, and the drive for personal gain, but at the end of the day, Sherlock’s world revolves around the pursuit of knowledge. His need to show off his prowess is secondary.John Watson; Hufflepuff
John is, to me, as Hufflepuff as one can get. His bravery and loyalty are defining qualities for his character. Seemingly small and harmless at first, when his loyalty for Sherlock is put to the test, John would drop everything in an instant to protect not only Sherlock, but also his reputation and his heart.#plus sherlock never takes the credit for his work and most of the time he isn’t cocky full of himself because he’s been so put down #he has the mind of a philosopher or a scientist but he has the drive to understand and to work and to succeed #everyone says it actually #john says risk your life to prove you’re clever #and mycroft says give him a puzzle and watch him dance #jim says sherlock wants everything to be so complex and intelligent #he’s so smart that it eclipses everything else #he’s not ambitious he doesn’t CARE for glory or fame we saw that in trf when john was reading the paper #when he grabbed a hat he wanted to protect his anonymity #a slytherin sherlock would have strutted outside #would have hung on john’s every word reading that article #sherlock was more concerned with the deerstalker #he really is such a beautiful character
that is the best telling of that story I have ever heard
then you obviously haven’t read the better myths version
Look at how Bruce is standing, lol. That clenched fist, the silent torment of having Tim taken from him by Jack Drake.
And Dick just looks so confused.
