=== Dog Arc === | The Travel Arc would finally end as Daniel left New York, returning to Denver on May 20. On May 25, the infamous "[[Häagen-Dazs Incident|Haagen-Dazs Incident]]" would occur, where Daniel would be kicked out of said ice cream shop due to an altercation with employees, as well a meltdown following shortly after. | ||
On May 31, Daniel created a Cameo account, initially charging $30 for custom videos. Over the following month, he adjusted the prices, at times reaching over $1000. Daniel eventually realized the need for lower prices to boost accessibility and increase sales, settling on $10. However, the prices continued to fluctuate, occasionally going back up to $100. Despite the high prices, Daniel failed to consistently fulfill the actual requests made by paying customers, sometimes outright ignoring them while thanking them for their money. This led to a decline in his review score, ultimately resulting in his ban from Cameo on August 16. | |||
==== Dog Arc / Incident ==== | |||
''Main article: [[Dog Arc]]'' | |||
On July 9, 2023, Daniel Larson adopted a German Shepherd mix named Zola (naming her Music) from the Longmont Humane Society in Longmont, Colorado, intending her as a "guard dog." Given Daniel is obviously unfit to take care of an animal, the community immediately showed genuine concern. It was revealed that the shelter hadn't conducted a background check on Daniel, leading to outrage as his online history and subsequent harassment faced by the shelter came to light. Despite calls to return Music to the shelter and worries about her well-being, Daniel continued posting videos with her. The community intensified efforts, leading the Longmont Humane Society to take steps to remove Music from Daniel's care. Concerns for the dog's safety grew due to Daniel's erratic behavior, evading authorities, and distressing videos of Music. A collective community effort successfully located Daniel and Music, which culminated in a user named "Ween" rescuing Music and returning her to Longmont on July 11. | |||
The situation escalated dramatically after Music was taken from Daniel. He reacted intensely, leading to destructive behavior at a Walmart and subsequent actions that resulted in a psychiatric hold. Daniel's response included making videos and live streams where he claimed to have contacted emergency services and creating bomb threats, ultimately leading to his admission to a mental health facility. After a period of psychiatric evaluation and treatment, Daniel was released from the mental health ward on July 19. | |||

Daniel would face financial instability after being suspended from Cameo, which led to him returning to the streets. On August 29, following trolling and threats directed at him by a fake Grace VanderWaal, Daniel responded with alarming behavior. He posted bomb and death threats towards various individuals and entities, including Grace, Beyoncé, Columbia Records, and even the US government. This would all culminate into a live stream where he would aggressively punch himself, slam his head against a wall and the ground, all while deploying the [[N-word|Tactical Slur]] against Grace. | |||
Following this, just two days later another incident would occur on August 31. The incident involved a physical altercation between Daniel and Bob Proctor inside Bob's car. The argument started over Bob's request for Daniel to stop using his phone while with him, leading to escalating tensions. Daniel filmed the encounter, citing personal safety as his reason. Bob demanded Daniel put away the phone, but Daniel refused, leading to a confrontation where Bob yelled at Daniel to leave the car. When Daniel refused, the situation escalated further, resulting in physical altercation, with Daniel claiming Bob ran him over while Bob demanded Daniel get out of the car. Daniel's would post a video showing aggressiveness toward Bob, followed by a meltdown at a motel where he punched walls and expressed fear of Bob, alleging Bob's actions violated his rights. | |||
=== College Arc === | |||
''Main article: [[College Arc]]'' | |||
On September 10th, 2023, Daniel Larson announced on YouTube that he planned to enroll in college, specifically stating that he would be attending CU Boulder in 2024. Subsequent community posts and a livestream followed, where Daniel discussed his enrollment process and shared details about his intended major and minor subjects. | |||
The context behind this decision involved Daniel's interactions with members of Phi Kappa Tau, a fraternity of CU Boulder students, who convinced him that he was a student. Videos of Daniel at a frat party, including ones where he promoted the fraternity, were posted on his TikTok and YouTube channel. | |||
While "attending" CU Boulder, Daniel claimed that he needed to leave for Golden, Colorado, citing a court appearance. | |||
==== Arrest ==== | |||
''See also: [[Daniel's Criminal History]]'' | |||
Daniel was arrested for third-degree assault towards a security guard on September 16, 2023, but in a complete failure of the American justice system, he was somehow ''released'' from jail just two days later. The bodycam footage was released on September 21, 2023. Daniel was subsequently arrested again on October 3, for failing to appear in court. | |||

On October 23, 2023, some "fans" would give Daniel a haircut. However, these were actually trolls who partially cut Daniel's hair in what was immediately dubbed a "Reverse Mohawk", and abandoning him before finishing the haircut as they claimed their car had been stolen. This left Daniel looking more unstable than ever, with the unfortunate coincidence that he had a court date the following week. Unsurprisingly, Daniel did not fix his hair, and on October 31, Daniel would receive a six month probation in court. | |||
Still with the reverse mohawk, Daniel would have a meltdown inside a Panera Bread on November 10, seemingly because his fans were "leaking his location" leading to him aggresively punching himself as well as exclaiming self harm threats, racial slurs, and psychotic screams. | |||
On November 30, Daniel would go back to court and be sentenced to 12 months probation, 48 hours community service, be fined, and subject to anger management classes from the Boulder CU arrest. | |||
=== ??? (''New Management Arc)'' === | |||
{{Ongoing|small=left}} | |||
Following a series of meltdowns in December 2023, Daniel was sentenced to even more probation and therapy. This would come with severe community backlash towards new management, as there was a noticeable lack of trolling. | |||
