Now I can’t stop picturing a college student running around jumping everywhere, just cause he can.

Little of both.

He’s got a healthy love for video games, and there’s certainly plenty of overlap in favorite titles (Celeste, Mario Odyssey, Pokemon, Stardew Valley, Minecraft, Link’s Awakening). But there’s also games he enjoys that I don’t (Bloons TD, Gemcraft, Mario + Rabbids, Mario Maker) and games I enjoy that he doesn’t (Hollow Knight, Breath of the Wild, Factorio, Satisfactory).

We also watch a handful of different animes/cartoons/shows together (with some episodes or scenes excepted). We’ve done Avatar: The Last Airbender, Futurama, Sword Art Online, Death Note, Animaniacs, and we’re currently working through The Owl House and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

On top of that, he’s got hobbies I’m not into. He loves drawing and takes Karate classes. We play D&D together as a family, but it’s not really my thing otherwise. As it happens, these are all interests he shares with his mother.

In addition to what everyone has said, you should probably prep your daughter for this kid feeling betrayed by her. Presumably, he told the gun stuff to her privately, or the school would already be on it. When he finds out that she told you and then you told the school, he may not take it well, and start treating her differently, and she should probably be aware of that ahead-of-time. Ideally, whatever’s troubling him can be dealt with, and he’ll come back from it, but it could be that whatever friendship they may have had won’t recover.

Also, if you haven’t already, you should reinforce that she absolutely did the right thing by bringing this to you.
