Does the Goffard family own horses? :3

Yeah, they do actually 🐎 but they’re kept on the far side of the estate, very old money about it. Polo fields, proper stables, horse racing connections, the whole aristocratic nightmare package. Bram treats it like another status symbol, something to parade in front of the right people.

Derek hated playing polo as a teenager. Hated the uniforms, hated the rules, hated being told how to sit, how to hold the reins, how to smile for donors. So instead of practicing, he took his horse, Mister Butters, and walked him straight into the main house one afternoon

Bram absolutely lost his mind with the staff scrambling, yelling and just pure chaos.

Derek didn’t care. Mister Butters got sugar cubes and lived a long horse life after.

since christmas is near is there ANYTHING like anything the goffard family does on christmas like legit anything?

THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING BTW ! ♡♡

Oh, big time. Do the Goffards do Christmas? Technically. Spiritually? Absolutely not.

December at Goffard HQ isn’t about joy, family, or togetherness, it’s about closing the fiscal year, baby. Which is just oodles of fun if you enjoy spreadsheets, dead eyes, and quiet existential dread.

By mid-December, Matt and Derek are so completely burned out they don’t even argue anymore. No screaming, no power plays...just the two of them blankly drinking coffee, staring at glowing monitors, and silently calculating who they’re going to fire next year. Festive! Cozy! Very Hallmark, if Hallmark was run by demons.

Meanwhile, Trish, who is the smartest person alive, is in the southern hemisphere, soaking up sun rays and living her best life because she is not dealing with that Canadian cold or whatever corporate purgatory Bram calls December. She might pop in briefly for the annual “Christmas Charity Gala,” which is really just one big self-congratulatory jerk fest and a massive tax write-off with twinkle lights

At least Derek gets a break. He has until the New Year’s Gala to “relax,” which in Goffard terms means Bram leaves him alone for a full five days. Five. Whole. Days. Basically a Christmas miracle.

So yes...there is a Goffard Christmas.

It’s just less Silent Night and more Muted Emails, Cold Coffee, and Quietly Resenting Everyone You’re Related To.

Happy Holidays 🎁

Hiii birdie you've been very active so i hope you're doing good

Just wanted to ask is it possible to Bram walk inside Derek's room and took mutt from him as a punishment to give it back to him again? Would he even touch mutt or let them stay alive or...

Like i wanna know how Bram thinks about mutt

hmmm… yeah no, Bram wouldn’t do the “take her away and give her back” thing. That’s not how he operates.

If Bram steps into Derek’s room and takes Mutt, it’s not a lesson, it’s a sentence. He’s taking her to kill her. Full stop. Derek’s backbone against his father is basically nonexistent, he freezes, obeys, dissociates. He can’t stop him.

She’s leverage, and once leverage is used, it’s disposed of. If he wanted to be especially cruel, he might return her to Fox and hand Derek a tape of her last moments as a “parting gift.”

hello hello birdie I hope you're doing alright! I have a question for you!

do you think Matt has been hit before? Maybe not to the extent of being hit like Derek but like... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

giving you lots of virtual hugs!

I'm tired 😫 but at least i'm still writting onto the ask.

Matt’s been hit, just not in the same way Derek was.Bram was more of a “discipline the defect out of him” type with Matt, getting struck across the backs of the thighs with a stick or similar when he “stepped out of line.” And “out of line” for Matt was stuff like being too quiet around clients, not smiling enough, not performing charisma on command. He was a really aloof kid, that wasn’t acceptable to Bram. Derek could naturally charm people, work a room, make noise, Matt couldn’t, so he got "corrected" for it.

Out of all of Brams kids, who do you think is the most like him? Behavior wise that is (　ﾟ 3ﾟ)

its matt, hands down.

like if we’re talking behavior-wise it’s not even a competition. derek is loud, reactive, messy with it, he *feels* too much and then weaponizes it. bram doesn’t do that. bram is controlled and he can be patient. he’ll sit there and watch something rot before he ever lifts a finger.

that’s matt.

matt’s the one who can detach. he doesn’t need the theatrics, doesn’t need to prove anything out loud. he observes, he calculates, and when he does act it’s usually quiet and deliberate. that’s way closer to how bram operates than derek’s whole… explosive thing.

and the scary part? matt knows it. he’ll even tell you he’s “not much better,” which is probably the most honest thing anyone in that family is willing to admit. but unlike derek, he’s not fighting it. he’s already settled into it in his own weird, low-energy way.

patrisha ’s too self-destructive, derek’s too emotional. So matt’s the one who could grow into bram without even trying.

I wanna hear more about Bram NOWWW!!!!!! Hes so interesting, I wanna analyze him under a microscope

Coming up, hope you enjoy :>

got into the dark web way too young. saw vile, reality-breaking shit before his brain finished cooking and instead of recoiling it lit something up in him.

insect guy 🐛 like not “bugs are neat” but taxonomy, preservation, control. his office is basically a mausoleum of taxidermied insects. tiny bodies that are pinned categorized and admired.

duck-shaped birthmark on his left calf. dad called him “ducky” as a kid.

older brother choked to death on a piece of steak. bram just watched and learned that passivity can be power.

had matt’s build when he was younger but coke addiction hollowed him out. now he’s all angles and sharpness, like a vampire

watched strades streams in college and before hand.

reads genuinely messed-up books....derek found them as a teenager, which is… yeah.

he keeps old voicemails. not sentimental ones arguments, apologies, people begging and evidence as little trophies

once made a too-young derek watch something horrific after derek walked into his office without knocking

erectile dysfunction...he needs the little blue pill.

Does Bram do business with women? Like how overtly misogynistic is he? 

Bram does do business with women, but never because he respects them as equals. If a woman is a high-ranking CEO, investor, or power broker who can directly fill his pockets, he’ll work with her. He’s pragmatic before he’s ideological. Money always wins.

That said, his misogyny is very real and very internalized.

He can switch on the charm like derek can, polite, cultured, almost courtly, for meetings. He knows how to perform “respectable man dealing with a powerful woman” well enough to get what he wants. But it’s a performance, not belief.

The second the meeting ends, he’s noticeably more irritated than he would be after dealing with a male CEO. Like the interaction itself took more out of him.

A woman in power disrupts the hierarchy Bram believes in, even if he won’t say it out loud. So when he has to work with one, there’s this underlying resentment, he feels forced to acknowledge something he doesn’t want to be true. He’ll still use her, still make the deal, still smile, but afterward he’s sharper, colder, more contemptuous.

he’ll profit off women’s competence while privately despising that it exists and then take credit for it all.
