Daniel took the midnight train to California on August 20, 2021 in a failed attempt to meet his father, [[Travis Larson]], who in fact was a troll impersonating him. As a result of his unannounced departure, Daniel was dropped from his disability program, thus leaving him almost entirely dependent upon Bob and the kindness of strangers. Some highlights of Daniel's brief stay in the golden state include threatening Grace VanderWaal's boyfriend, shaving himself a mohawk, and accidentally ending up in Emeryville instead of Los Angeles. | Daniel took the midnight train to California on August 20, 2021 in a failed attempt to meet his father, [[Travis Larson]], who in fact was a troll impersonating him.

''Main articles: [[Las Vegas Arc]], [[Travel Arc]]'' | |||
Daniel would leave Los Angeles in February 2023, and begin to travel across America via bus. | |||
====Las Vegas Saga ==== | |||
Daniel arrived in Las Vegas on February 13, 2023. He would go on to be kicked out of multiple Vegas casinos, as the security there was unsurprisingly much more competent than in other cities. Contact would be lost with Daniel just a few days after his arrival, on February 16. He would not post for a few days, however fans would spot him walking in the streets of Las Vegas anyway. On February 23, Daniel would make a sudden return to TikTok, detailing an incident where he was assaulted by "fans" and had his phone taken during the altercation, resulting in a fractured skull. He also stated he was receiving support and accommodation from a sober living home based in Nevada. | |||
Daniel was kicked from the "Sober Homies" and later issued an oddly phrased threat involving fireworks inside a casino, leading to his TikTok ban. His antics would continue until another hiatus from March 2 to 15, when he reappeared, asserting that he had spent time in a mental hospital in Vegas. Departing Las Vegas on March 17, Daniel headed to Phoenix. | |||
==== Arizona Saga ==== | |||
Daniel's travels led him from Las Vegas to Phoenix, Arizona on March 18, where he documented his journey through videos and interactions with fans. After mentioning discontinuing medication (Latuda), he sought donations and mentioned plans to head to Tucson. Upon arriving in Tucson the following day, he detailed financial struggles, seeking funds from viewers to travel further. His time there included interactions with strangers who seemingly supported him, offering gifts and even purchasing items for him, as documented in various selfies and videos. He engaged with many fans, danced with a group of younger men, and acknowledged receiving free meals from a fan. | |||
On March 21st, Daniel posted a video walking along a road in Arizona, withholding the town's name for safety reasons. He revealed canceling his planned trip to El Paso due to receiving death threats, expressing the need for security before visiting. Although he didn't disclose the town's name in the video, users on the /r/DanielLarson subreddit identified it as Benson, Arizona, approximately 50 miles southeast of Tucson. | |||
==== Texas Saga ==== | |||
Daniel arrived to El Paso, Texas, on March 22. His intended destination was actually Roswell, New Mexico, but he got on the wrong bus. Daniel would be confronted by the police for dine and dashing, though he somehow paid the tab. | |||
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. However, his arrival was marked by incidents, including alleged death threats, security concerns, and a fan-driven transportation from the airport to Jersey City. | |||
Daniel faced multiple sightings and doxxing throughout New York, encountering both supportive fans and confrontations, leading to [[Bodega Incident|the Bodega Incident]], where he was harassed and later checked into a hospital for a black eye and concussion. His interactions with fans included generous gestures such as meals, gifts, and paid accommodations. | |||
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 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. | |||
=== Cameo Arc === | |||
The Travel Arc would finally end as Daniel left New York, returning to Denver on May 20. | |||

Despite Daniel's frequent online postings, significant aspects of his personal life and thoughts remain obscure. This lack of clarity arises partly from the complexity and vagueness of the topics he engages with, compounded by his own inconsistent and incoherent thought processes. Additionally, Daniel often shows indifference towards matters that do not directly impact or immediately satisfy him. | Despite Daniel's frequent online postings, significant aspects of his personal life and thoughts remain obscure.

His [[family]] life is tumultuous. His father was absent and his mother was neglectful to the point that Daniel was removed from her custody. It should be noted that Daniel's mother had lupus and may have been physically incapable of caring for Daniel. His grandmother, while the most qualified to care for Daniel, was not capable of providing the proper care for somebody with as many mental disabilities as he had. His two step-sisters are unknown, and his two biological siblings passed away almost immediately after birth. He has had numerous caretakers, either voluntarily or assigned by the state. Following his grandmother's death in 2019, Bob Proctor has been Daniel's on-again off-again caretaker. | His [[family]] life is tumultuous.
