The Hype House Arc (also referred to as the Hype House Saga and mistaken as the First Housing Arc) was a pivotal arc and the final chapter of the Classic Era in the Daniel Larson story. During this arc, he was placed in a group home with his most notable care provider, Jonas, who Daniel despised due to perceived "abuse," his wife Miranda, and a housemate named Gavin. Daniel moved into this home on approximately July 7, 2021, occupying the pink room which he destroyed the following month. Despite this, he remained in the house until he eventually fled it on December 1, 2021. He then moved into an assisted living apartment before getting kicked out on January 9, 2022, marking the beginning of the Homeless Era.
The house was in a constant state of chaos, which amplified Daniel's paranoia and anxiety were high during his time there. In the first two months, he trashed the pink room and frequently fought with Jonas. At one point, he believed that he was "poisoned" after his macaroni and cheese had honey mustard. Additionally, in the last two weeks of the arc, Gavin became notorious for having frequent meltdowns, which sometimes prompted Daniel to act out in response. [1]
Background
Before moving into the Hype House, Daniel had been going through various housing arrangements, frequently being relocated or evicted due to his behavior—such as punching holes in walls. [2] On July 6, 2021, he was removed from his then-current housing, and the following day, he moved into the house. [3] Coincidentally, Daniel stopped wearing the gaming headset that he wore for months.
Etymology
The term "Hype House" is derived from the TikTok Hype House, wherein a large group of famous TikTokers lived in a giant mansion in 2020.[4] Ironically, despite this implying that the Hype House had many members, it was just Daniel and Gavin, as well as Jonas and his wife.
Time In Jonas' House
The earliest events of the Hype House Arc took place in the "Pink Room," where Daniel lived until September. Shortly after moving in, he began posting bizarre and sexually suggestive videos, most infamously the toothbrush, bottle, and pencil incidents. Daniel also engaged in frequent destructive behavior, including punching, kicking, and slamming his head into the walls, causing extensive damage to the room. During this time, tensions with housemate Jonas escalated. He frequently fought with Jonas, recording and posting about it on TikTok. One altercation between them led to Daniel being hospitalized. He also developed a brief but intense obsession with ventriloquist Darci Lynne Farmer. [5] The damage to the room was never repaired, and within a month, it had been completely torn apart. Daniel filmed the aftermath—drywall scattered across the floor—while crying. [6] However, he managed to remain in the room for another month.
In September, Daniel moved out of the Pink Room, and a new client named Gavin moved into the house. Gavin quickly became known as "Hal Stewart" in TikTok comments due to his appearance, and was also known for his frequent meltdowns, many of which were recorded and livestreamed by Daniel. By November, the house had descended into a state of constant chaos, with both Gavin’s meltdowns and Daniel’s own growing paranoia and meltdowns contributing to the instability. At one point, Daniel claimed that Jonas had thrown a banana at him and put jalapeños in his mac n cheese, "poisoning" him. During this period, Daniel and his case manager arranged for him to transition into an assisted-living apartment, which he moved into on December 1, 2021.

Hot Phone Incident
On November 29, 2021, Daniel went live on TikTok in the morning, complaining about his phone overheating. As the stream progressed, he became increasingly upset, eventually smashing a lamp and having a meltdown towards the end of the stream.
November 29th Incident
On November 29, 2021, hours after the Hot Phone Incident occurred, Daniel went live on TikTok outside the house, where a chaotic situation unfolded. Gavin had a meltdown after he got the police called on him by Jonas, because Gavin supposedly slapped him. Loud noises, possibly from Gavin hitting walls or breaking objects, could be heard in the background. During the outburst, Gavin repeatedly demanded Jonas to call his mother, and at one point, he shouted her phone number, which was audible on the stream and had around 7,000 viewers at that time. Gavin became shocked when the police arrived at the house. [8]
Fleeing
Daniel fled the Hype House on December 1, and moved into an assisted living apartment. [9] He was working with his case manager to work out this situation as Daniel could not tolerate Gavin's meltdowns, Jonas' "abuse" and the house in general. After a month of living in the apartment, he was evicted and became homeless.
