| ===Headset Arc=== | | ===Second Headset Arc=== |
| 2022 had a rough start for Daniel; he would record videos of him humping his camera for Grace and take out his anger on inanimate objects when he was upset. His behavior was so bad that his then-manager, [[Bianka]], quit for fear of mistreatment. Things only went downhill from there, as he posted videos of him crying in bathrooms, punching himself in the genitals, and ranting endlessly about Grace VanderWaal. | | 2022 had a rough start for Daniel; he would record videos of him humping his camera for Grace and take out his anger on inanimate objects when he was upset.

| ===Second Housing Arc===
| | == Second Housing Arc == |
| In July 2022, Daniel sought assistance from the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center (DDRC) for housing and legal matters, eventually securing housing shortly thereafter. Daniel would be hospitalized for trench foot at the beginning of August 2022. By August 31, he had moved into a new home, marking the start of the Second Housing Arc, though details about this period remained sparse. However, an incident captured on video during his eviction suggested that Daniel may have inadvertently disclosed his address, leading to unwanted deliveries and disruptions. Within days of moving in, he caused significant damage to the property and exhibited behavioral issues, resulting in his eviction on October 16 and a subsequent citation. Reports from his housing provider indicated concerns for personal safety, raising questions about Daniel's behavior during his tenure. Following his eviction, Daniel spent time with new acquaintances at Dave & Buster's on October 19, before allegedly being abandoned at a Walgreens in Colorado Springs the next day. Stranded and refusing shelter due to perceived fame, Daniel embarked on a journey back to Denver, where he typically resided, despite concerns about his ability to survive the harsh winter conditions, having never experienced homelessness during this season. Notably, he once spent a night in an elevator with other homeless people. | | In July 2022, Daniel sought assistance from the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center (DDRC) for housing and legal matters, eventually securing housing shortly thereafter.

| In January, Daniel's public display of scabies caused concern in his community due to the health risks involved. His habit of scratching, combined with his long, bacteria-filled fingernails, heightened the risk of infection for both himself and others. Daniel's visit to Disneyland further endangered others, prompting the community to start warning the locals about Daniel. Eventually seeking medical attention after severe itching and bleeding, he was diagnosed with scabies and initially neglected treatment in favor of indulgence. A later hospital visit led to treatment, marking yet another chapter in Daniel's saga of [[Daniel Larson's health|poor health]].

He mentioned receiving support from a sober living home in Nevada, but later, he was expelled from the 'Sober Homies' group and issued a peculiar threat involving fireworks inside a casino, leading to a TikTok ban. His activities continued until another hiatus from March 2 to 15, during which he claimed to have spent time in a mental hospital in Vegas. On March 17, Daniel departed Las Vegas and headed to Phoenix.

| |
| | |
| Daniel's March 24 arrival in Big Spring, Texas, sparked a whirlwind of bizarre events. Initially losing and then miraculously finding his debit card, he delved into a series of erratic videos, claiming emergencies involving trolls, alleged stalkers, and fabricated scenarios involving Grace Vanderwaal and a supposed assailant named Ivan. He shifted between claims of receiving cease and desist letters from record labels, being fired, and encountering [[Delusions|alleged stalkers]] in white and black pickup trucks. His videos documented his escalating paranoia, including encounters at Walmart and a gas station, where he believed he was being followed and threatened. Daniel's live streams on TikTok showcased his erratic behavior and unfounded safety concerns, culminating in police encounters and calls, a breakdown triggered by alleged comments from Tina Vanderwaal, and claims of evading an assassin in a white pickup truck, eventually prompting him to leave Big Spring, supposedly accompanied by hospitalization after receiving threatening messages.

| Daniel's journey continued with tumultuous encounters in various Texan cities. In Sweetwater, he arrived and promptly encountered distress over a perceived security threat, leading to attempts by followers to have him removed from the Greyhound station to no avail. Despite accepting odd jobs for cash (surprisingly) and claiming collaborations with Playboi Carti in Atlanta, he left for San Antonio where his presence caused disturbances leading to his eviction from a Greyhound station, followed by a similar pattern in Houston. His erratic behavior and claims of threats resulted in confrontations with businesses and the police, culminating in confrontations, refusals to pay for meals, and even being kicked out of a Dave and Busters. Daniel's live streams were plagued by harassment, including disturbing phone calls and alleged stalking, prompting him to seek police intervention multiple times and, ultimately, to flee Houston.

| ====New York Saga====
| |
| Daniel's turbulent journey continued as he traveled to New York City with the help of new managers, aiming to meet Tina and Grace VanderWaal for an investigation and personal reasons.

| |
| | |
| Amidst the chaos, Daniel engaged in online hostilities with [[Michael Quinn]] and [[World Of T-Shirts]] (Joshua Block). Daniel would also post a couple of anti-Semitic TikTok videos, including references to Adolf Hitler, likely because Joshua Block was Jewish, claiming that "it explained a lot." His time in New York and New Jersey included a visit to the American Dream Mall, eviction from the mall by troopers, and a hospital visit for Trench Foot.
| |
| | |
| On May 8, Daniel met with Michael Quinn over lunch, and on May 10, he finally met with World Of T-Shirts. In the following days, Daniel would proceed to get a citation for trespassing, as well as having a meltdown from missing his bus to Orlando. He was also fooled into thinking that Justin Bieber had paid for a trip to Disney World.
