Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
Yes yes yes yes yes! 
Some new developments about season 5 have just arrived and I can’t wait to tell you all how I feel!!! This is gonna rock!!!
This was found out during PonyCon AU, and it’s mostly about the 100th episode and the return of Maud plus a bit about the pony film coming in 2017: (my opinion is written in bold)
Episode 100:
No mane 6, all background/minor ponies
Seems like a reasonable thing. I mean it is THEIR episode after all. Though I think if this were to work, either the Mane Six could be out of town doing something friendship-spreading related, or they could be just doing their everyday stuff but in the back compared to the BG ponies.
Doctor Whooves, and very heavily hinted that he is similar to the actual Doctor Who version
We kinda assumed he would be like the actual Doctor Who, right? lol I can just imagine him running someplace with his sonic screwdriver and going into the TARDIS, that’d honestly be pretty cool.
Some fan-established background pony personalities will be seen, while others will have entirely new ones.
Holy cow that’s gonna be great! Its so awesome they’re taking the fans into account and incorporating the fans impute on the characters, I couldn’t be happier *squee*
As many background ponies crammed into it as they can, while still having a fun story
Hell yeah! Everyone’s gonna play a part (okay maybe not everyone but hey maybe lol)
While they aren't allowed to read fanfiction to avoid a conflict of ideas, they are still very aware at what is popular.
Dang it XD but I’m glad they at least know what is popular in the BG character department, that’s definitely some good news.
MAUD PIE:
Maud Pie returns in a Hearths Warming (Christmas) episode
I can only see Pinkie singing Deck the Halls and Maud doing the “fa la la” thing XD
But still a Pie Hearth’s Warming episode sounds like it might give everyone the feels which is exactly what I’d like. And if im right, I remember someone saying that Maud might sing next season, so perhaps she’ll sing a Christmas carol?
Pony Movie:
It is completely 100% Pony, no Equestria Girls
About. freaking. Time. Haha
As much as I like Sunset Shimmer and Flash Sentry and i don't particularly hate the EG movies, thank god we get some actual ponies in a full movie.
They are going all out on it, to make sure it doesn't just feel like an extended episode
SO LEVELS OF TIREK VS TWILIGHT ALL OUT? YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAH!!!
So to recap:
Princess Luna will have a nightmare at some point (maybe an entire episode?)
HELL YEAH LUNA RULES
Maud Pie returns, Maud's familial relationships being revealed soon
Perhaps with the Xmas episode or in a different Pinkie/Maud episode?
Coco Pommel returns
Okay. I don’t love Coco, but she’s cute. So okay XP
Entire Twilight's Library episode
T_T my treeeeeeeeee *curls up in a ball*
26 Episodes total
Fluttershy: yay.
100th episode with background characters (Reconfirmed)
I literally just finished writing about this, but YAY!
Season 5 Looks to be exploring Equestria. Hasbro keeps pushing "Storybuilding".
Hell yeah, ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE!
Steampunk Pony
I saw the concept art, and it’s this guy and the other Apple family member’s designs I love the most.
Lots of new highly detailed characters
DETAILED TO THE UTMOST PERFECTION? Love it
Possibly Griffon empire?
Insert “GRIFFONS” joke from R.A.M.
Cutie Mark Magic is the topic (not of episode 100, but the season)
Hmmmmmm…. Not exactly feeling that, but if they execute it well, then I’ll change my mind. Still not convinced though.
Nopony Dies
Aw man so Jayson’s tweet was a trick XD I kinda suspected but im glad its confirmed its not true.
Storyboarding completed back in January
Sweet, so its pretty much done! And from what I gather the voice acting happens WAY before the storyboard process starts, so all we need now is the animation and BINGO SEASON 5 IS OURS!
Larson hints at a Princess Pile
Dude if Larson writes a Princess episode with ALL of them bonding, its gonna be AMAZING
Mike Vogel wants Flutterbat to return
As do I!
DJ-Pon-3 in the foreground
With her base cannon? And perhaps being voiced by Jessi? HINT HINT
More Diamond Tiara development
Are we getting Pacifica Northwest development here or no? because if Diamond Tiara goes down that road, MAYBE ill like her. I still dislike her with a burning passion though.
Music:
Rainbow Dash gets a solo song
Pinkie Pie song
Oh good! Because we haven’t already gotten Pinkie having MORE solos than her friends, right? SARCASTIC.
Lena Hall (Broadway singer) doing a song written by Amy Keating Rogers
GAH im excited for Lena! Friendship is Magic cuz of here XD
Lena Hall's song got a teaser
Yep, and it seems like a power ballad, so it’ll probably be great
The final season 5 song was being worked on way back in November
So theres a good chance the music is done then? HOLY COW GET SEASON 5 HERE ALREADY!
and finally the rumors floating around:
Rumors:
David Tennant voices Doctor Whoof at some point (very low chance, but it never got fully debunked)
Wouldn’t that be extremely great, though? I now my cousin would FLIP
Discord jealous of others stealing Fluttershy time (John de Lancie mentioned this at a panel)
Want. This. Now. Wouldn’t you agree, no1cool ? *EVIL LAUGH*
Some believe Discord's origins are going to be a thing based on the lack of a Discord FIENDship is Magic comic
Ohhhhhhhhhh haven’t read the comic but sounds pretty interesting.
And that’s it for me about the season 5 spoilers/rumors
Im waiting with ecstasy for the season to come already, so to calm my wait.
FANART TIME!!!!!
