Homeless Era: Difference between revisions

The '''Homeless Arc''' is the longest running arc in the [[Daniel Larson]] story. The homeless arc began in March 2022, after Daniel ran away from his caretaker [[Jonas]] and housemate [[Gavin]]. While the “first” Homeless Arc has ended, as of 2023, Daniel is still without a permanent housing situation.

Before the arc began, Daniel was living with a host named [[Jonas]] (Jonez/Jonaz) and a housemate named [[Gavin]]. The household was in a constant state of chaos,<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/vhrh8k/3_minutes_of_a_gavin_meltdown/</ref> so much so that at one point Daniel was [[Poisoned Mac N Cheese|"poisoned" with mustard or jalapeños in his macaroni and cheese]]. Daniel fled from the house, as he couldn't take the chaos that ensued within Jonas' household. The departure may have also been influenced by trolls or managers. This "manager" informed him that [[Grace VanderWaal]] was in Colorado Springs, and that Daniel had 24 hours to get there (from Denver) if he wanted to be with her.  

== Survival ==

To the surprise of some, Daniel has been able to survive being homeless. He did so through various (and sometimes illegal) means, such as [[Dine and dashes|dine and dashing]] or relying on [[Sightings and Fan Interactions|fans]] to pay for his meals. Since he is almost constantly on his phone (such as when [[Denver Colfax Marathon 2022|he ran an entire marathon, phone in hand]]), Daniel will usually charge his phone at restaurants or other public areas. On occasion, Daniel will resort to [[Porch charging|trespassing]] if he cannot find a receptacle in a public place.
