Literally Tolkien's perspective on worldbuilding. Authors are "subcreators", doing little versions of what their creator did, having been made in his image.

Tolkien was hella Christian too, so he approves of this meme

But I thought God created the Universe to find out how Game Of Thrones ended.
SPOILER ALERT: He didn't like it
