Season 5 just tries to slowly crush the whole Winchester family piece by piece—destroy what various characters are hoping for. 5.04 "The End", 5.08 "Changing Channels", and 5.13 "The Song Remains The Same" are designed to try and break everyone's belief in free will to make them give in.
In 5.10 and 5.11, Sam is told that anger is evil and is something Satan can only use to help destroy the world, taking the wind out of Sam's sails.
In 5.03 and 5.08, Garbriel and Raphael tell Cas that believing their father will help him is the pathetic pipe dream of a naive child. Raphael suggests that Lucifer is the one who raised Cas, and then in 5.10, Lucifer lends to that perception by capturing Castiel to try and talk Cas into joining his side.
Guilt for things that aren't his fault is thrust on Dean over and over and over and he knows it's crushing him to death but he can't do anything about it because everyone needs him (5.11). There is literally no way to manage it. Everyone keeps reinforcing it. Dean is completely overwhelmed and is suffering worsening stress-induced depression so severe that Famine has no effect on him.
Bobby is ripping apart at the seams because of his recent paralysis and then after being forced to relive having to kill Karen, and he and Dean depend on each other's survival to go on.
Cas non-secretly (5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 5.08) and Dean secretly (5.14) hope for God's help against all odds and that hope gets utterly obliterated in 5.16 "Dark Side Of The Moon".
Everyone depends on each other's survival—one more loss will rip them all apart, because Sam needs Dean in order to keep going (5.04, 5.18), and Bobby needs Dean in order to keep going (5.07, 5.18), and Cas needs Dean in order to keep going (5.03), and Dean needs Bobby and Sam and Cas in order to keep going. They are all dependent on one another going on but it's only a matter of time before one of them completely snaps... and then they will all snap.
it's important to me that people know the original "he would not fucking say that" was in response to a tiktok where someone said eric cartman would thank you for asking for his pronouns. Like it just doesn't hit the same without context.
Text editors love to presume that you want a period if you hit space thrice. No bitchass I don't need a period there I'm talking to my beautiful wife the spacebar
