One day we'll go fishing for a social art and a surprise meme faction is going to get like-
[ ] Cheese
[ ] Meat
[ ] Hospitality
-through and we're gonna end up with a charcuterie art that's stupidly powerful whilst situational. Probably made by the same person who did that art that requires flight way before it's reasonable to normally have it.

We don't know how art creation works, but I strongly suspect that you can only create arts that are Domain/Way compatible with yours: even when you're deliberately making training wheel arts for babies who don't have a domain yet, you can't create something that doesn't resonate with your spirit. Arts all mean something, and my sense is that if you create seemingly-absurd arts, it's because you have a deeply strange Way.
Sadly, this means that we can't have the Kung Pow notion of deliberately leading people astray as a joke.

There have been some commissions that have been about art creation.

Sure, they've been about the insights that led to the creation of specific arts. But we don't know the details of how it works in the general case, especially when it comes to deliberately creating arts below the creator's level, which is what RY was asking about.

At the point of power where u can make arts, none of them are just making arts for the hell of it. It still takes time and you're using your personal insights for crafting the art. Cultivation takes a lot of effort, time and energy. I doubt anyone advancing that far who is focused on advancing all the way would spend their time frivolously. Not that much time. Not even Shenhua...like she would do something like make her court uncomfortable by hooking up with Linqin in front of them bc why the hell not, she's flaunting her power and she can do whatever she wants. But making an art is a much bigger time commitment. I doubt many high-level cultivators takes it that lightly. Not if their trying to actually advance to higher realms.

True but what if they're theme is itself insanity?
Thinking bout Deadpool and Joker but plenty of other cases as well.

Creating an art still takes time and consideration. I can't imagine someone with Deadpool or Joker personalities dedicating themselves to that much time and effort. A mad scientist type might be but they create their projects, whatever they might be, for a reason. Not just for the hell of it.

Yes but their very good at what they do, which is absolute total mayhem and destruction.
Im looking for those who want to break the rules of what it means to cultivate, kinda like Shenua but instead of laws it's what makes them in the first place, plenty of evidence with all the other cultures out there its just how you apply what and why.

Okay well that's different. I can definitely see that but I don't see even those type of people just creating an art for the hell of it, on a whim/ because they felt like it. Doing something as big as breaking the known rules of what it means to cultivate is something I'd imagine still takes time and effort. Anyway its whatever. Kinda see what you're saying now.
Sort of. Theres degrees to everything.
Audacious Fairy's Lark was made by an amused Elder watching their grandchild playing with a fairy, and had no practical purpose, since it augmented a capability that few Greens would have, and anyone capable of flight at Cyan would never look to a low Green art.
It was plainly made...on a lark.

This misconception seems to keep coming up so I'll try to clarify:
Resist does exactly 2 things:
- oppose dispel attempts, techs which try to disable one or more of:
- Our field effect constructs (like IPF and later BKSD). If they get dispelled then the entire field is gone and we would have to spend actions and qi to recast it.
- Personal art effects we're running, like SCS's movement/dodge buff and TRF's armor buffs. This includes instant effects like DWV, and in case the dispel is successful we won't benefit from the protection at all. Unlike dispels against field effects these may be possible to just dodge depending on how @yrsillar plays it.
- Debuffs we place on enemies, like LW, FSS' spirit poison, and Elegy. Usually resist techs won't be able to directly oppose a self-cleanse but our resist stat determines the difficulty.
- Oppose localized disruption in our field effects; this is an easier test than breaking it entirely, and if an opponent is successful they may carve out a sanctuary where our field can't reach. We don't want that to be a realistic option for most opponents.
Resist does not in any way help against enemy offensive physical or spiritual attacks. That's covered by avoid (not getting hit) and armor (taking less damage and mitigating other negative effects).
I hope it makes it clear why we, as someone whose combat strategy relies on heavy use of field effects to control and damage enemies while buffing us and our allies, would want to (and are) invest heavily into resist.
