Daniel Larson: Difference between revisions

|DOB=November 15, 1998

'''Daniel Robert Larson''' (born November 15, 1998),<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@daniellarsonwork2024/video/7323093377182895406?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc</ref> also known as '''[[Danderson]]''', '''Mr. President''', or "'''Zoomer Chris Chan'''", is a 25-year-old [[Daniel Larson's health|mentally ill]] online internet personality, self-identified [[Music Career|singer/songwriter]] and [[Southwest Model and Talent Agency|fashion model]], convicted [[Daniel and the Law|criminal]], [[Presidential Campaigns|president of the United States]], and a self-proclaimed celebrity who's engaged to former ''America's Got Talent'' star, [[Grace VanderWaal]], despite them having never met in person.

In 2020, Daniel gained a sizeable following due to his strange content and unusual appearence. Upon discovery, people began to [[Trolls|troll]] him for amusement, due to him resembling controversial internet personalities such as [https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Christian_Weston_Chandler Chris Chan] or [[wikipedia:Terry_A._Davis|Terry A. Davis.]] In an attempt to get Daniel to notice them, individuals often pretended to be teams of [[Management|managers]] who stroked his delusions of fame and fortune. Daniel fell for this, unsurprisingly, and this would eventually turn Daniel from simply a well-meaning, albeit odd person, into someone with genuine problems, who regularly posted controversial and deranged content.   

Daniel would consider himself a celebrity, specifically, a [[Music Career|world-famous musician]] (despite him not selling a multi-platinum album, and the glaring fact that he is a [[Homeless Era|homeless vagrant]].) Despite this, he is the creator of the smash-hit songs [[Roaring Thunder]] and [[Something More]], as well as being the mind behind several violent and/or disturbing meltdowns and [[incidents]], making him (if anything) more infamous than famous.   

The primary reason behind his behavior is attributed to Daniel's several [[Daniel Larson's health|mental disorders]], and his unwillingness to receive help for them. The specific disorders are not known, although Daniel (and additionally, his parents and other trusted figures) has mentioned that he is [[Daniel Larson's health|autistic]],<ref>https://archive.org/details/download_20240113</ref> and suffers from [[Daniel Larson's health|ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and, most notably, schizophrenia]]. Confirmation of any medical diagnoses is unclear, but he has resided in a specialized educational environment for children with diverse needs, as well as disability housing, which suggests some professional assessment.

Daniel's content is regularly hosted on his many [[Social Media Accounts|TikTok and YouTube accounts]], which is he widely banned off, as well as many [[List of places that have banned Daniel|real-world locations]] due to his extreme and inappropriate actions. This is due to behaviour such as him [[The May 6th Incident|exposing his genitals on a live stream]], his [[Pedophilia|pedophilic tendencies]], and [[Panera Bread Incident|assaulting]] [[College Arc|multiple]] [[December 10th Incident|people]] in real life, most notably, his [[Bob Proctor|elderly mentor]].

From 2021 onwards, Daniel's life would continue in a downward spiral, as he'd move from house to house, before eventually becoming [[Homeless Era|homeless]], contracting [[scabies]], proclaiming himself to be in a relationship with [[Grace VanderWaal]], being exposed multiple times for [[Pinterest|pedophilic behaviour]], hopping from manager to manager, [[Dog Arc|adopting a dog]], defrauding a taxi driver, [[Bodega Incident|assaulting a bodega employee]], attempting to enroll in [[College Arc|college]], pulling a fire alarm at an [[Olive Garden Incident|Olive Garden]], [[Jail (Disambiguation)|facing multiple arrests]], having his [[Bob Proctor|mentor]] cut ties with him, making several terroristic threats against the government ([[Second Jail Arc|and being charged for it]]), and becoming significantly more mentally ill than when he first started posting onto the internet.  

There has truly been no internet personality such as Daniel Larson, with his story being described by many as "same shit, different day". Even after years of people trying to help him, Daniel shows no signs of stopping his incredibly dangerous behaviour, choosing to only live in his hand-crafted delusional world. It had even gotten so bad to a point where [[Jail Arc 2|police intervention]] was required to get him to cease his activities.

In short, Daniel's story is one that is not fated to have a happy ending, leaving his life as a tale of bad parenting, the effects of untreated mental illness, guilibility, narcissism, sexual deviancy, criminal activity, and, most importantly, a tale of the world slowly (or quickly, depending on how you see it) watching a man deteriorate through each and every day.  

Daniel Robert Larson was born on November 15, 1998 in [[wikipedia:Lancaster,_California|Lancaster, California,]] to parents [[Elisabeth Shimer|Elisabeth Lee Shimer]] and [[Travis Larson|James Travis Larson]]. His parents were fairly young when they gave birth to him. While Elisabeth's age is not known, Travis was only 20 (and 19 at the start of his Elisabeth's pregnancy) at the time of his son's birth. Daniel's genesis could have been spurred by claims of his father being "[[:File:Elisabeths post about Travis.png|obsessed with sex]]", though, this cannot be confirmed. In 2001, Daniel's mother would also give birth to his late siblings, [[Family|Joyetta and Olivia]], who would pass away due to RH incompatibility not long after birth.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fdannybob98%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0MnyaEcaQ2RWSmKDwvt26jKSZw7xEZRMYiBkFQAV3EENY8vvYHxxfFuLFWcn8FYual</ref>  

Observing Daniel Larson's facial features, including a thin, flat upper lip and small eye openings, there is speculation about the possibility of him having Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.<ref>https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15677-fetal-alcohol-syndrome</ref> However, this can’t be proven, and furthermore, Elisabeth's impaired state adds complexity to the situation.   

When Daniel was a toddler, Daniel was said to have been playmates with his neighbors [[Dog Arc|dog]]. In one of his TikToks, Daniel indicates that he murdered this dog. As he chased the dog around, it jumped over a spiked fence to which it impaled itself due to not being able to jump over in time.<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@averagelarsonian/video/7196410748418018606</ref> While Daniel obviously was not the one who killed the animal, this small anecdote was most likely the starting point of his violent tendencies.  <gallery>

In 2010, Daniel was relocated to Colorado at the age of 11 by his mother following her separation from his father who viewed Daniel as a “lost cause”.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/139sc49/comment/jj419qs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> The decision to move was also influenced by Colorado's reputedly better mental and physical health support opposed to California's.<ref name=":3">[[:File:Elisabeth Comment 1.png|File:Elisabeth Comment 1.png]]</ref> This was due to Daniel's severe mental health problems, as well as Elisabeth becoming wheelchair-bound after years of fighting lupus.  

As confirmed by his mom,<ref name=":4">[[:File:Elisabeth Final Comment.png|File:Elisabeth Final Comment.png]]</ref> Daniel, even from a young age, displayed severe signs of disabilities such as autism, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. This may be because his mother, as well as his father, might be mentally challenged to some extent, although it is unclear what condition they suffer from.{{Quote|I'm Danny's mom and yes we have moved here for the services. He doesn't just have autism he has severe bi polar and shizophrenic. He has beaten me and my mom... he has lied and has fantasies about so many things. He does not want to listen to authority...he is not famous but wants to beleive he is.he does what he wants and if you dont let him he gets violent..if you want more information contact me}}

This is evidenced by the fact that, at about age 11, Daniel was taken away from his mother by the State of Colorado due to being neglected and facing alleged abuse,<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/16juf15/discussing_his_childhood/</ref><ref name=":1">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsAGVvnzbms&t=1298s</ref> which Daniel and a later news report affirm. Due to this, Daniel claims that he bounced between 10-15 foster homes. This is also evidenced by leaked documents the DDRC sent to potential fosters families/host homes. These documents warns families that Daniel, "has a history of [[7/11 incident|property damage]], [[Dog Arc|kicking animals]], [[August 29th Meltdown|self-injurious]] behavior, and verbally threatening or [[December 10th Incident|hitting providers]] when he's upset" which corroborates claims of him being extremely violent, even in childhood.   

Elisabeth has claimed that Nancy, her adopted mother and Daniel's grandmother, spread lies about her abusing her son,<ref name=":4" /> but the validity of these claims has yet to be substantiated. However, It is ''extremely'' likely that Elisabeth was unable to take care of Daniel due to being disabled and functioning solely in a wheelchair, difficulty only added by the separation of her and his father, as well as difficulty from Daniel. Because of her disability, Elisabeth went into assisted living in 2015 when Daniel was 17.   

He was then put in various foster homes<ref name=":1" /> before his grandmother, [[Nancy Shimer]], took legal guardianship of him. Despite her kinder treatment of Daniel, Nancy was known to be enabling of his bad habits, according to both of Daniel's parents,<ref name=":4" /> who claimed she rewarded him with M&M's after he painted on her house's walls rather than punishing him.{{Citation Needed}} Due to this enabling, Elisabeth and Travis attempted to gain respective custody of Daniel, before ultimately failing as Daniel was placed under Nancy's care. When Travis attempted to file for custody of Daniel, Nancy refuted it by saying that Daniel, "didn't even know his father", which heavily calls into question what their relationship was like. Because of this, Travis grew to have an extreme dislike of Nancy, calling her a bitch and claiming the only reason she had obtained custody of Daniel was due to her greater financial situation.<ref>[[Spiddlekick Interview]]</ref> Though, unlike his father, Elisabeth was eventually given access to see Daniel once more.
