Children. Children are the dark and uncaring deities that rule my Universe. Though they drain away my time, my money, my health, and my sanity, I return to them with new offerings and new incantations: "Zil'thub mo nthrish," [1] "Efalghar b'thwineth sha lemmlun," [2] and "Kazurath ib alkin xu, wan korda vobas ikthrish." [3] For me, there is no hope, no life. There is only my unending servitude to their dark and awful glories.
[1] "I beg your dark majesty to eat your green beans."
[2] "I will sacrifice my feet upon these Legos if you will just go to sleep."
[3] "By what fell rites did you conjure that horror into the toilet? My soul weeps in agony and despair."

Lovecraftian Deities
I'm involved in a discussion group that centers on the works of H.P. Lovecraft. (This should surprise exactly nobody.) In the group, someone devoted a thread to discussing the dark and uncaring deities of the Universe. Well... you know where my mind went, right?
