This might come as a surprise, but I quite enjoy the Lovecraftian mythos—the idea that there are huge alien forces which see us humans as nonentities, as insignificant as the ants we humans step on while walking down the sidewalk. I most certainly do not believe that Lovecraft was describing the real state of affairs at all, but as a thought experiment his ideas are often very interesting.
Have you read Tolkien’s “Mythopoieia?” Do.
I’ll check it out!

That’s a very interesting thought. The idea that there are forces vastly bigger than us and, we, in comparison, are insignificant is a common thread.
