independent and private mona vanderwaal of abc family / freeform's pretty little liars. highly canon divergent, headcanon focused, and canon critical. est. jan 2025 by holly. 21+ and mutuals only!
exploring themes of: morally grey heroines, seeking redemption, forgiveness, turning one's flaws into assets, self-preservation, and the art of reinventing oneself.
carrd. verses. prompts. multi.
when mona is so used to being an unwanted presence that the idea of someone genuinely enjoying, much less craving, her company is soooo uncomfortable to her. she will literally go out of her way to interact with people who want nothing to do with her, and yet if someone shows her the slightest bit of interest her first instinct is "what the hell is wrong with you?" ... thinking specifically about kq's @deservesnice who she not only keeps at an arm's length but honestly treats terribly most of the time, not because she doesn't have love for him, but because he has love for her and in her eyes that's the kind of sickness that is only remedied with distance! she would much rather curse the unwilling with her company than devote that energy to people who actually value her and i just think thats so telling
she's been hand-beading at bob mackie levels to the best of her abilities for hours now — so much so that there's a permanent glimmer in her vision from the sparkle and shine of it all. that, in turn, makes things more difficult when doing such detailed work with a tiny little sewing needle. it seems this cher costume is really going to be made of her blood, sweat, and tears. typically, brooke loved the frenzy and focus — and the end result was always worth it — but this year feels different. this year she needs the distraction. some may call the level of focus she's found herself at unhealthy. she prefers to call it motivated.
brooke is broken from her spell with a startle, once again poking herself with the needle — something she never does, thanks to nimble fingers, but things feel off. " oh my god, how long have you been standing there? " her vision comes back into focus, brow furrowing as she takes in a mona draped in faux fur. " and why are you dressed like that old woman who walks her cat on a leash up and down park avenue? "
" long enough to be concerned! " though her gauche-phobic mother would never be caught dead in dalmatian, she channels her inner leona vanderwaal as she pouts down at brooke, her expression the perfect cocktail of worry and exasperation. as a self-declared brooke scholar, she was uniquely qualified to handle these sorts of situations — not that it'd take a rocket scientist to see this behavior for the cry for help it was. brooke, who typically found her own version of peace in the chaos of costume design, was unraveling faster than a dropped stitch. she had let it go on too long, hoping the extra workload might prove a worthwhile distraction from the ex-shaped elephant in the room — but enough was enough.
" first of all, vera is an icon. she danced at studio 54 in it's heyday and was widowed rich by thirty. we should all be so lucky. " one late evening at the office, they'd opened a bottle of cabernet sauvignon and done an internet deep dive on the park avenue institution. she remembered that night fondly — it was the night she realized brooke was her friend. " second of all, i'm cruella! as in, de vil? perfectly wretched, darling. " this last part she delivers with a transatlantic affectation, fluffing the ends of her two-toned wig. when her near-perfect impersonation doesn't inspire so much as a laugh, she lowers herself into the seat across from brooke and breaks character. as she surges forward to ghost her palm over brooke's exhausted fingers, she's no longer cruella, no longer mona-the-fixer or mona-the-girlboss. " put the needle down, honey. not even you can out-sew a broken heart. "

" quick question — how married are we to nini? " it was the kind of question, mona knew, that could make or break a producer-contestant relationship. people could be so sensitive about names. just last season, two contestants had come to near blows after the lead mixed them up at a rose ceremony. sure, it was great for ratings, but yikes! " we just think nina sounds soooo much sexier. it's giving mystery girl, femme fatale ... top three status at least. " even while mentally steeling herself for the fallout, she manages to sound unrehearsed. a true professional. so far, nini had been a dream to work with — it was clear from her file she was no stranger to the spotlight — but it was a fragile ecosystem. and so, she chooses her words carefully. " totally your call! you're in the driver's seat. i'm just here to make you look good. "

mona is an avid reader, and while her shelves don't creak under the weight of a thousand books, she does have a modest collection of old and new favorites. rarely does she make a blind book purchase — she's a library girlie through and through, and most of the permanent fixtures on her shelves were purchased after she'd already read them. in addition to staples like her well-loved french-english dictionary and collection of edgar allen poe short stories, mona's bookshelves are full of classic novels and poetry anthologies. she generally prefers female authors, and her collection reflects that. agatha christie, the brontë sisters — she has a copy of mary shelley's frankenstein that she treasures. then there are childhood favorites like the oz books, lord of the rings, the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, and eloise.
p.s.: don't let the bookshelves fool you. most of what she reads are contemporary celebrity book club favorites. they just live on her kindle.

so here's the truth: she had first spotted tai at penn station, studying the departures board as ON TIME flipped to DELAYED, and back again. then again on the platform, in a sea of travelers donning collegiate sweatshirts, many of them still yawning into their thermoses. finally, they boarded, and mona watched, contemplative, as tai claimed an empty row — before taking her own seat a half-dozen back. really, she had every intention of minding her business. their few interactions over the semester had been frosty at best. even mona, with a reminder from her therapist to go where you're valued, had stopped trying after a while. she had wanted to be friends — or maybe she just wanted someone to look at her, really look at her, and acknowledge how far she'd come.
she would settle for quiet coexistence.
until a vinyl duffel slams unceremoniously against her ankle, launching mona into the aisle before her new seatmate — a man in his mid-60s with undiagnosed gallstones you could just tell is a talker — can get too familiar. and there's tai, still miraculously alone. though it feels like a defeat, she's all smiles as she approaches her fellow wiskayokian. a cheerful " may i? " queues on her lips, but this is public transit — no one asks permission. instead, she slides wordlessly into the vacant seat and gets settled ( shedding her scarf, smoothing her skirts, swiping her tongue over her teeth to banish any smudged lipstick and/or latte stains ) before finally meeting tai's eye. " i guess great minds think alike! "
" the early train. " she clarifies, gesturing to their surroundings. " gotta beat the pre-break rush, right? i am surprised to see you, though. " this, tacked on to the previous sentence like an afterthought — like she's not dying to know why taissa turner of all people would ever willingly step foot in their hometown without a legion of armed guards. " do you usually go home for the holiday? "
something so monacharlotte about father figure except they're both singing about each other
mona liked spencer's mary queen of scots costume btw
@bdazzled
" trick or treat! " donning the work-appropriate edition of her costume — her real fit to be debuted at heidi klum's later that night — she floats into brooke's office on sky-high stilettos, spotted stole just narrowly escaping the threshold as the door swings shut behind her. naturellement , no precious pooches were harmed in the making of her ensemble. only her credit card had suffered, all in the spirit of procuring the best faux mink money could buy! she's eager to show it off, but brooke — who was usually happy to tell her how fabulous she looked — had barely spared an upwards glance, glued to her sewing machine like she'd been cursed by some fashion-inclined witch. this, mona had learned, was standard fare for the designer. come october, her office transformed into the textiles department of santa's workshop, a wonderland of shimmery fabrics and appliqués of all shapes, sizes, and colors. it was, she'd come to understand, a labor of love — and so was this. leaning into the theatricality of the day, she places one hand on each hip and clears her throat, ahem-ing loud enough to wake the dead. " jinkies, daphne, you look like you've seen a ghost! "
