'''Joshua Block''' (born August 7, 2001), known online as '''World of T-Shirts''' ('''@worldoftshirts'''), is a TikTok star who gained popularity in 2020 for his eccentric personality caused by his autism. This would lead to more funny videos & live streams in New York in 2021. During this time, Josh would get a hold of a live fish and was caught stomping on it on a sidewalk. This appalling video helped him gain an even larger following on his platforms. Also around this time, [[Samantha]] and [[Jared]] became associated with Josh, possibly having influence over him.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/14ldeha/does_anyone_know_what_happened_to_that_12_year/</ref>

More recently, Josh has taken up rampant alcoholism while terrorizing the streets of New York City and refuses to seek any help. Throughout his TikTok career, Joshua has had several online interactions with Daniel Larson, especially due to their overlapping fanbases. Joshua’s controversial manager, [[Michael Quinn]], is another notable figure in the [[Glossary#Larsonverse|Larsonverse]].

After Daniel met up with Joshua and Quinn in May 2023, Joshua mostly fell out of relevance in the Larsonverse, though he still maintains his own following and is considered a [[lolcow]] in his own right. Following the [[April 30th Arrest]], some Daniel Larson fans have begun closely following Joshua as he continues to spiral into other addictions and cementing his status as a lolcow.

==Early interactions==
In May 2021, before Daniel and Joshua ever met in person, Joshua announced that he would sign a record deal with "Daniel Larson Records," and collaborating with him to make a new song, however Joshua canceled the deal shortly after he discovered [[Pinterest|Daniel's past]].<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@daniellarsonrecords/video/6959726072116071686</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/n7gchb/breaking_news_joshua_aka_worldoftshirts_has/</ref><ref>https://archive.org/details/a1hk6irp8tx61</ref>

Joshua warned viewers to avoid Daniel at all costs and that he needed to be canceled. It is unknown how Joshua was made aware of Daniel Larson, however it is likely that trolls (unaffiliated with [[Management]]) reached out to him and claimed to be part of "Daniel Larson Records."

In May 2021, Daniel posted a [https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/nj73dy/daniel_shouts_out_joshua_block_aka_worldoftshirts/ TikTok] in which he responded to a viral video of World of T-Shirts screaming the lyrics to "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z. In his post, Daniel says, "This message is to World of T-Shirts. In New Yorrrk! ''(attempting to hit high note)."'' On January 3, 2023 Daniel posted another video in which he says, "This message goes out to Joshua, World of T-shirts. You need to go back to selling t-shirts because you are not ready for this industry."{{Citation Needed}}
== Travel Arc ==
Upon hearing news of Daniel’s plans to travel to [[Travel Arc|New York City]], fans and Michael Quinn wanted to see a meet-up between the two figures. On Reddit and TikTok, many people attempted to convince Daniel to find Joshua and fight him. While it seemed neither were interested, [[Michael Quinn]] and both of their fan groups certainly were. The consensus was that even if this did happen it is likely that Daniel would back out, to the disappointment of many.

Later on, 'fans' would continually harass Daniel about doing a collaboration with World of T-Shirts. Many fighting with him, or taunting him by claiming that Joshua was on his way to his current location, as well as a plethora of other creative ways to try to get under Daniel's skin.
[[File:Bestcollab.png|thumb|A frame from the video where Josh and Daniel first meet in person]]
After Daniel arrived in New York City, trolls attempted to arrange an 'accidental' meet-up between Daniel and Joshua. Daniel was sent to multiple locations that Joshua frequented, being under the impression that Grace VanderWaal would be at these locations. Joshua expressed multiple times on TikTok that he does not wish to meet Daniel, and even had to leave establishments after Daniel was likely to show up at.

After the [[Bodega Incident]], Joshua posted a TikTok in front of Little India Bodega, the location at which Daniel was assaulted. In the video, Joshua announced that Daniel Larson got punched in the nose at the Bodega, and that he, World of T-Shirts, runs New York City.{{Citation Needed}}

=== The Meetup ===
On May 10, 2023 after Michael Quinn and Daniel had met two days prior, Quinn got Daniel and Josh to finally meet. Caught on film, as Daniel walked through the doors of the Starbucks at the World Financial Center in downtown New York. Daniel is visibly smiling in the video. The tension of the moment quickly faded as the two shook hands despite all the online arguments, Joshua then recorded his well known rendition of "Empire State of Mind" with Daniel in the background gleefully waving to the camera. The two broke bread together and discussed Josh's drinking problems, and Daniel's experiences along the west coast on a livestream.

==Cameo ==
Around May 29, after creating a Cameo, Josh got an order in which a Daniel Larson fan paid to have him say that he was dating Grace Vanderwaal. Mistakenly however, Josh said that he was doing Grace instead.

{{#evt:

In what appears to be Daniel's response, posted around the same time, he announced that both World Of T-Shirts and [[Michael Quinn]] are banned from all of his concerts.

{{#evt:
service=archiveorg
|id=7238792496799632682
}}Later, this creation lead to fans pushing Daniel to make a cameo, which he [[Cameo Arc|eventually did]]. Since then, Daniel has been long since "''B-A-N-N-E-D''" from Cameo while Josh continues to make money, yet still scamming customers by mostly making videos under 5 seconds. This is a clear example of how if Daniel gave the bare minimum effort into doing Cameos he would still be on the platform.

'''Dylan Alexander Clark,''' also known as '''Mr. Interview''' or '''Blark''' (not to be confused with [[Clark]]), is a former ween, [[Enablers|enabler]], and self-proclaimed [[Management|manager]] of [[Daniel Larson]]. They met during the [[College Arc|college arc]], specifically after he was [[Folsom Field Arrest|arrested after assaulting a security guard]], and met up with him several times to record videos, and additionally providing him with multiple items.

Dylan is extremely controversial and derided by the Daniel Larson community for a wide range of reasons, mainly for actions such as [[Enablers|enabling]] Daniel via giving Daniel things like pizza and money.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1b6thv1/meet_daniels_new_pedo_palmanager_dylan_clark/</ref> But most of all, he is hated for a previous arrest he faced after making threatening calls to schools that were victims of past shootings (much like our friend Daniel), and adding embellished information to this wiki article relating to his arrest in an attempt to show himself in a better light.<ref>https://daniellarson.wiki/index.php?title=Dylan_Clark&diff=9764&oldid=9762</ref>

In the wake of the [[Second Jail Arc]], Dylan would falsify information of Daniel's arrest, claiming that he had been incarcerated due to him being in possession of a firearm.

As of March 2025, Dylan has not made any new appearances.

== February 2014 Arrest ==
[[File:DylanClarkschoolshooting.png|left|thumb|Excerpt of an article covering Dylan.]]
Even before his interactions with Daniel, Dylan was quite the troublemaker.

In January 2014, Dylan, then aged 17, made a series of threatening calls to schools such as Sandy Hook, Columbine, Virginia Tech and Arapahoe, all of which being schools that had been victims of school shootings in the past.<ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/03/20/teen-charged-threatening-calls-sandy-hook-school-shootings/6666263/</ref>

Not long after, Dylan would be arrested after the calls were traced back to his home. According to police, he claimed to be a relative of the perpetrators of the past shootings, most notably Adam Lanza. Even more, in these calls he would go out of his way to name every single child who died in the tragedy.<ref>https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/2014/03/20/michigan-teen-accused-of-making-threatening-calls-to-sandy-hook-other-schools/</ref> It was also revealed that authorities had contact with Dylan earlier in the month when he had made a phone call threatening suicide to an alarm company. It is unclear why he did this.

Afterward, it was found out that these calls stemmed to Arapahoe, where Dylan threatened to burn down a school, among many other threatening calls. When arrested, a laptop, Kindle, notebook, and cellphone were seized from his home.

At his arraignment, Dylan made a bizarre claim that his reasoning for these threats were so, "people [would] stop making fun of me on Facebook," and that the calls he had made were a "call for help."
{{Quote|I just wanted some attention. I just wanted people to stop making fun of me and people from calling me names on Facebook. I didn't mean to do it. ...It wasn't a prank. It was a cry for help.}}
After several court hearings, Dylan was charged with false report or threat of terrorism, which is punishable by 20 years to life in prison. He was held on a $50,000 cash bond, and if ever released on bond, demanded to wear a GPS tether and not use the Internet.<ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/03/20/teen-charged-threatening-calls-sandy-hook-school-shootings/6666263/</ref> Eventually, he was let out, although it is unknown what the circumstances surrounding his release are.

Even when confronted with this by multiple members of the community surrounding Daniel, Dylan remains adamant he did not make these calls and was framed.

==Videos==
{{Stub}}

=== The Larson Tapes ===
The Larson Tapes is a series of videos in which Dylan recorded his conversations with Daniel post-[[Folsom Field Arrest]], asking him questions about current events and other things.<ref>https://archive.org/details/the-larson-tapes-part-1.-boulder-co</ref><ref>https://archive.org/details/the-larson-tapes-part-2-golden-co</ref><ref>https://archive.org/details/the-larson-tapes-part-3.-boulder-co</ref><ref>https://archive.org/details/the-larson-tapes-post-jail-interview</ref>

=== January 3rd Interview ===
At around 8:10pm EST on the 3rd of January 2024, Dylan joined one of the voice chats in the Daniel Larson Wiki Discord Server to have its members conduct an interview with Daniel. During this time, Dylan was visiting Daniel at a homeless shelter, and despite the shelters' rule to not film or record, Dylan did it anyway. The interview lasts approximately 45 minutes.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFZCQYf5XL4</ref>

== Weening ==

=== Second Jail Arc ===
During the wake of the [[Second Jail Arc|Second Jail arc]], Dylan, via Reddit, would make blatantly false posts regarding him being with Daniel during the time he was arrested. This can be assumed as a way of gaining attention, as Dylan only started making posts about being taken in by the police following his [[Clark|white counterpart]] being (at least, allegedly) arrested for coercing Daniel into dangerous behavior.

In his first post, titled ''"Blark here. I know why he got arrested,"'' he claims to know the reason why Daniel was arrested.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1ch86md/comment/l20t488/</ref> Despite the title, Dylan never gives a reason as to why Daniel was arrested.
{{Quote|I was with Dan shooting another interview when we were approached by two plains clothes officers with badges around their necks hung by a chain.

They asked Daniel and I to identify ourselves and as soon as Daniel said “Daniel Larson” the officers immediately asked for him to step outside with them.

I sat in the courtyard as he went out but I could still hear the conversation.

Daniel was asked if “this account belongs to you?” To which Daniel replied “uh yes- but (unintelligible)” the officers say okay and pause for a moment and then they ask if this is “a post of his” to which Daniel replies with a very long “UHHH- yes- yes it is I believe”

Daniel then attempts to gaslight the detectives by claiming “this account is ran by” so and so management entertainment blah blah blah. AFTER he already admitted to posting whatever they were referring to, this was immediately rebuffed by the officers “you just told us it was you though”

Daniel tried to retort but was then immediately asked to place his hands behind his back, he was arrested and loaded into an unmarked vehicle and taken away.

Idk what the posts were Idk what accounts they were talking about Idk what charges he’s facing

But this might be serious.

Reporting live from Boulder, Colorado Dylan Clark. Out.}}
In his second post, titled ''"Blark here. I was just questioned by the FBI"'', he falsifies information of Daniel being arrested due to having possession of CSEM and a firearm.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1cikiz7/blark_here_i_was_just_questioned_by_the_fbi/</ref> As expected, this post was downvoted into oblivion.
{{Quote|Blark here. Just got crestioned by the FBI/SS

Quick update follow up to my last post.

The FBI and SS showed up to my door this morning at about 7 AM (GMT) and asked to come inside, I obliged and allowed them inside. They introduced themselves and badged up and began a very INTERESTING line of questioning pertaining to Daniel in which I learned some very new information.

Preliminarily they began by asking about the depth of my relationship with Daniel to which I began to explain which is not worth going into because we all know, but then this is where things begin to become interesting.

They asked me if I’ve ever witnessed any inappropriate pictures or videos on Daniel’s phone, to which I replied “what kind of inappropriate pictures and videos” to which was answered “of course”.

I responded “no I have never been in possession of his phone” they moved to “did you know about the GUN in Daniel’s possession?” YES Daniel had A GUN. SCARY

I said no, they then asked if I had ever heard of Daniel making threats or planning any acts of violence, I showed them the recent meltdown in the wind, the BOMB BOMB BOMB video and they stopped me in my tracks “we are very aware of this video, we are trying to ascertain information that you may personally have through your interactions with Daniel”

They then dropped the bomb “Daniel is being charged with 8 felony counts of terroristic threats and being investigated for 2 counts of possession of c p0”

They asked if I would testify at a potential trial to which I agreed.

'''Daniel Robert Larson''' (born November 15, 1998), also known as '''[[Danderson]]''', '''Mr. President''', or "'''Zoomer Chris Chan,'''" is a 26-year-old [[Daniel and Mental Health|mentally ill]] internet personality and convicted [[Daniel and the Law|criminal]] who claims to be a [[Music Career|singer-songwriter]], celebrity, [[Southwest Model and Talent Agency|fashion model]], and [[Presidential Campaigns|President of the United States]]. He also claims to be engaged to former ''America's Got Talent'' star, [[Grace VanderWaal]], despite having never met her in person.

In 2020, Daniel gained a sizeable following due to his unusual style of content, unorthodox appearance, and [[Incidents|erratic behavior]]. As Daniel's popularity increased, more and more people began to exploit his gullibility. Many of these trolls were inspired by the trolling of previous controversial Internet personalities, seeing Daniel as a new [https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Christian_Weston_Chandler Chris Chan] or [[wikipedia:Terry_A._Davis|Terry A. Davis]]. To gain Daniel's attention and trust, [[trolls]] would pose as [[Management|managers]] or employees of record labels, preying upon his delusions of fame and fortune. Daniel would fall for their ruses almost every single time, which only served to [[Daniel and reality|worsen his delusions]] of fame and fortune. These managers would have him constantly perform degrading acts, and make him say embarrassing things on camera. The constant trolling resulted in Daniel having very high levels of paranoia, which would lead him to further spiral into lunacy.

Daniel considers himself a celebrity, specifically, a [[Music Career|world-famous musician]] that billions of people know, despite spending the majority of his adult life as a [[Homeless Era|homeless vagrant.]] Despite this, Daniel managed to produce three studio-recorded songs; [[Roaring Thunder|"Roaring Thunder,"]] [[Something More|"Something More"]] and [[Merry Go Round|"Merry Go Round."]] His music is not what Daniel is most known for, as his TikTok's showcasing his disturbing [[Incidents|meltdowns]] garner far more attention.

The primary reason behind his behavior is attributed to the several [[Daniel Larson's health|mental disorders]] he is afflicted with, and his unwillingness to receive treatment for them. As of 2025, Daniel is confirmed to have [[Daniel and Mental Health|autism,]] [[Daniel and Mental Health|bipolar disorder, PTSD, and, most notably, schizophrenia]], which adds intense difficulty to his daily life.

Daniel's content is hosted on his many [[Social Media Accounts|TikTok and YouTube accounts]]. Many of these accounts have been banned over the years with the reasons for his bans varying greatly. In one notable instance, Daniel was banned from TikTok for [[The May 6th Incident|exposing his genitals on a live stream]]. Other reasons for his bans range from him admitting to [[pedophilia]], use of [[Daniel and Race|racial slurs]], and [[College Arc|assaults]] on [[Self Harm|himself]] and [[December 10th Incident|others]], including his [[Bob Proctor|elderly mentor]], Bob Proctor. As well as [[Pink room|destruction of both public and private property]].

From 2021 onwards, Daniel faced many significant life-altering setbacks. He moved from house to house before becoming [[Homeless Era|homeless]], contracted [[scabies]], [[August 29st Meltdown|threatened to end the life]] of [[Grace VanderWaal]], [[Dog Arc|adopted a dog]] and had it taken away, [[Bodega Incident|assaulted a bodega employee]], attempted to enroll in [[College Arc|college]] [[UCLA Arc|'''twice''']], pulled a fire alarm at an [[Olive Garden Incident|Olive Garden]], [[Daniel and the Law|faced arrest on multiple occasions]], and became significantly more mentally ill than when he first started posted online.

There has truly been no one like Daniel Larson. 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, gullibility, narcissism, sexual deviancy, criminal activity, and, most importantly, the world watching a man deteriorate day by day.

As of current, Daniel is [[Second Jail Arc|institutionalized]] at the [[wikipedia:United_States_Medical_Center_for_Federal_Prisoners|United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners]] near Springfield, Missouri, having been transferred there sometime after his arrest for making terroristic threats in [[April 30th Arrest|April 2024]].

{{PleaseSpreadTheMessage|Daniel has never been officially confirmed to have been abused as a child, much less sexually.

[[File:Youngdaniel.png|left|thumb|254x254px|Daniel, at five months old.]][[File:GoofyAhhDanderson.png|thumb|Notice how he has all of his teeth. |262x262px]]
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 at the time of his birth; his mother aged 22, and his father only 20. Daniel's genesis could have been spurred by claims of his father being "obsessed with [[Daniel and Sex|sex]]," however, this claim is difficult to verify.<ref>[[:File:Elisabeths post about Travis.png]]</ref>

In 2001, Daniel's mother gave birth to his late siblings, [[Family#Joyetta and Olivia Larson|Joyetta and Olivia]], who would sadly pass away due to blood type incompatibility between the girls and their mother.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fdannybob98%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0MnyaEcaQ2RWSmKDwvt26jKSZw7xEZRMYiBkFQAV3EENY8vvYHxxfFuLFWcn8FYual</ref>

Observing Daniel’s facial features, including a thin, flat upper lip and small eye openings, it has been speculated that Daniel may suffer from fetal alcohol syndrome.<ref>https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15677-fetal-alcohol-syndrome</ref> This cannot be proven, and furthermore, it is way more likely that [[Daniel and health|genetic disorders]] from Daniel's parents passed onto him. It is unknown if this is truly the case, though.

When Daniel was a toddler, he was said to have been playmates with his neighbor's [[Dog Arc|dog]]. In a video he posted to TikTok, Daniel described himself as an “animal murderer,” talking about how the dog impaled itself on a spiked fence while the two were playing.<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@averagelarsonian/video/7196410748418018606</ref> While Daniel was obviously not the one who killed the animal, this can be thought of as a starting point for his violent tendencies, which would only worsen as he matured. <gallery>

According to accounts from Daniel's mother, Travis supposedly saw his son as a “lost cause," believing that his son would never improve or achieve anything significant in life.<ref>[[Elisabeth Shimer]]</ref> The decision to move was also influenced by Colorado's reputedly better mental and physical health support.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/139sc49/comment/jj419qs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> Better physical care would greatly benefit Daniel's mother, who became wheelchair bound as a result of a decades-long battle with Lupus, a disease she suffered with since age 20. {{Quote|I'm Danny's mom and yes we have moved here for the services.

Daniel's childhood was wrought with tenuous claims of neglect and alleged [[Pedophilia#Alleged Childhood Sexual Abuse|sexual abuse]]. If true, this mistreatment may have left him with childhood trauma which aggravated his already chaotic behavior, and even worse, contributed to his later [[Pedophilia|pedophilic tendencies]]. A health and/or social worker who claimed to have worked with Daniel claimed that he had a, "...history of child sexual abuse (to him and by him)." What this means is unclear. It has not been confirmed if this person actually helped Daniel, leaving its validity questionable.<ref>[[:File:Daniel Sexual Abuse claims.png|File:Daniel Sexual Abuse claims.png]]</ref>
{{Quote|I worked with this person when he was a child/teen in a severe treatment center in Denver.... he's had a horrible upbringing and does suffer from multiple behavior and personality issues. This is a man with deep rooted mental health problems! It's very sad and I hope that the dog and himself finds help. There's a history of child sexual abuse (to him and by him) as well. How he acts ISNT A GAME or him faking.... It's truly how his brain thinks and it's severely debilitated! Very sad story to see this from working with him as a teen....}}

[[File:DanielFosterHomeForm.png|thumb|523x523px|The DDRC describing Daniel to potential foster parents.]]
At around age 11, Daniel was taken away from his mother by the State of Colorado due to alleged neglect he was facing. Given the state's actions, it is likely that Daniel was truthful regarding his later claims of neglect. Additionally, a later [[KWGN Tennyson Center News Report|news report]] reaffirms this.

Daniel's mother has alleged that [[Nancy Shimer|Nancy]] spread lies about her abusing/neglecting her son for unknown reasons.<ref name=":4" /> Instead, it is way more likely that Daniel was taken away from her as a result of her being paralyzed, which made it harder for Elisabeth to care for Daniel. This is what may have caused claims of Daniel being neglected. Due to her disability, Elisabeth would go into assisted living in 2015.

According to [[Flexburger]], a future manager of Daniel:

{{Quote|Daniel moved to Hugo, Colorado with his mom after she split with Travis. She couldn’t take care of him anymore because she was paralyzed. And Daniel was an asshole. I asked him about her getting paralyzed. He told me she was stuck on the kitchen floor for a couple months straight by herself and couldn’t get up. I knew that was a lie so I asked “so she shit and pissed herself on the floor for a couple months straight?” to with daniel responded “yes”.|Flexburger|author=Flexburger}}

Daniel claims that he bounced between 10-15 foster homes in the years following the state's intervention.<ref name=":1">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsAGVvnzbms&t=1298s</ref> This is evidenced by documents that the [[DDRC|Developmental Disabilities Resource Center]], or DDRC, sent to potential fosters families and host homes. These documents warn 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." This corroborates claims of Daniel being extremely violent, even in childhood. One of the homes he would end up staying in was the [[Tennyson Center|Tennyson Center for Children]], an assisted living facility for schooling, rehabilitating, and assisting children with intellectual disabilities, as well as youth who faced neglect, abuse, and other mistreatment. At this school, he met his mentor, [[Bob Proctor]], via a reading buddy program.<ref>[[Spiddlekick Interview]]</ref> Even after the program concluded, Daniel and Bob still remained close.

Eventually, Daniel's grandmother, [[Nancy Shimer]], was eventually granted legal guardianship of him following a long custody battle.

Despite her kinder treatment of Daniel, Nancy was known to be enabling of his bad habits. When Daniel a toddler, Nancy was said to have rewarded him with M&M's after he had drawn on the walls of her home.{{Citation Needed}} Because of this enabling, Elisabeth and Travis tried to gain custody of their son, believing that Nancy would not raise their son correctly. Despite their collective efforts, the both ultimately failed. When Travis filed for custody of Daniel, Nancy opposed it, claiming that Daniel, "didn't even know his father," raising serious doubts and questions about their relationship. Due to the hostile accusations hurled during the custody disputes, Travis grew to despise Nancy, allegedly calling her a "bitch," and claiming that the only reason she had custody of Daniel was due to her greater financial situation.<ref>[[Spiddlekick Interview]]</ref> Unlike Travis, Elisabeth was eventually given visitation rights to see Daniel once more.

Daniel even made it on the news, being [[KWGN Tennyson Center News Report|featured on local Denver news station KWGN]]. The clip documented his time at the [[Tennyson Center]], in which he lived for over a year prior to Nancy gaining custody of him, where he was now continuing to receive schooling at. [[File:SobeskyDan4.png|thumb|434x434px|Our beloved Danny boy. ]]
Throughout his childhood, Daniel was almost exclusively referred as "Danny." He was even called this in his high school yearbook and in the aforementioned news report. According to his classmates, Daniel was a very violent person, even in class. One of his classmates refers to a time in which Daniel threw a chair at a window which resulted in a light fixture being knocked down.<ref>[[Canned Legs Leaks]]</ref>
{{Quote|i also remember he threw a chair at the window in the computer lab that overlooked the library and knocked down one of the light fixtures. but yeah that sums it up lol}}
According to this same classmate, Daniel had a habit of running in the hallways in an attempt to evade staff. Due to his troubled behavior, Daniel was assigned a guardian who followed him throughout the entire school day.<ref>[[Katie Elise]]</ref> When questioned about this, Daniel asserted that him having a guardian was not because of him being untrustworthy, but because of him having a close friendship with his teachers.<ref>[[Spiddlekick Interview]]</ref>

Just like his childhood, his time in school was wrought with alleged claims of mistreatment and bullying. Daniel claimed that the Tennyson Center was a, "...very violent place."<ref>[[Spiddlekick Interview]]</ref> According to Daniel, the Tennyson Center had a brick room only lit up by a single window, dubbed the 'Timeout Room.' Daniel claims to have been placed in this room on several occasions for behavior such as excessive crying or not cooperating with teachers. Other students would be physically restrained due to violent behavior, however, this seems to have never happened to Daniel.

This is important, especially when taking the less than positive reputation of the Tennyson Center into account. Many past students and attendants of their programs claim to have been abused while attending, which is further corroborated by the Tennyson Centers residential living program (which Daniel attended) eventually shutting down following the death of an 11-year-old boy under the facilities care. There were also several documented instances of sexual misconduct between children, runaways, drug overdoses, and children harming themselves.<ref>https://coloradosun.com/2021/03/23/tennyson-center-residential-program/</ref> It is likely that Daniel may have faced the same mistreatment as other students have claimed, but this is unclear.

When in school, Daniel claimed that children would tease him by calling him '[[wikipedia:Danny_Phantom|Danny Phantom]],' a nickname derived from the fictional character of the same name. According to a classmate, this seemed to have very little effect on him.<ref>[[FlyingFoxandwings AMA]]</ref> These claims of being bullied only seemed to arise in adulthood. {{Quote|Contrary to what he may say, people were actually quite respectful towards him. We all knew we had our own issues, and for the most part, nobody meant any harm towards him. Whenever he was called Danny phantom, there was no malicious intent. He didn't even really react to it. I guess that's more something that came after he graduated. But no, not really anybody bullied him. This particular school was quite small, so when I say that, not really, anybody bullied him, I mean, there were about 18 of us in the high school. Even the biggest bully in the school didn't really pay much mind to him. He was just that reserved.}}

During this time, he would participate in several extracurricular activities. According to his [https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-larson-b734b2196/ Linkedin page], Daniel was a volunteer dog walker for the Humane Society of Boulder Valley in January of 2012, although there little information regarding this occupation. Sometime in 2014, Daniel started attending and participating in several [[Musical Theater|musical theater programs.]] Daniel is known to have participated in at least eight different musicals, although he rarely got leading roles. His roles in these musicals may have set the groundwork for his desire to be famous. [[File:Openingschool.png|left|thumb|284x284px|Daniel, at the opening of Sobesky Academy. ]]

In many of the photos from his time in musical theater, Daniel is visibly smaller than almost all of his classmates, only exacerbated by his odd bowl-cut hairstyle. Daniel may suffer from something such as [[wikipedia:Progeria|Progeria]] which would explain his physical appearance, however, this claim cannot be substantiated.

Daniel began attending [[Sobesky Academy]] in 2016, the same year that it opened. It should be noted that Sobesky, while having a large population of children with special needs, was not exclusively a special needs school. This was due to Sobesky being an [[wikipedia:Alternative_school|alternative school]], which aimed to rehabilitate troubled students and prepare them for reintegrating with their district schools.<ref>[[FlyingFoxandwings AMA]]</ref> Due to him never being reintegrated, there are questions surrounding the validity of his high school diploma.

There is not much known about Daniel's time in Sobesky, as Daniel seemingly hasn't talked much about his high-school years, as opposed to his time in the Tennyson Center which he seems to hold in higher regard. Though, according to [[FlyingFoxandwings AMA|one of his high-school classmates]], Daniel, even in high school, had an escort, which implies that Daniel had violent tendencies all throughout his teenage years.

{{Quote|He seemed pretty normal. He really had some issues with academic retention and he was very reserved. He often times would have an escort, and his escorts would call him Danny... ...post-graduation it was like night and day. He went from robotic to the way he is today. It was a rapid turnaround.}}Despite his behavior being far less eccentric during his high school years, he was documented to have had occasional outbursts and [[meltdowns]], during some of which he would [[Self Harm|hit himself]]. These outbursts would result in him being placed into "close and lock," much akin to the punishment room at the Tennyson Center. The reason he is much worse now compared to his time in school could be that Daniel was heavily medicated when he attended Sobesky and Tennyson, whereas nowadays he almost always refuses to take antipsychotics. He was often described as someone who was quiet, a, "...total wallflower," and "...pretty normal."<ref>[[FlyingFoxandwings AMA]]</ref>[[File:Furries.png|thumb|Could our future president be a furry? ]]Daniel, despite being [[Intelligence|unable to do basic math,]] to a point where a classmate described him as having academic retention, took Algebra 2. [[File:Graduation.png|left|thumb|200x200px|Daniel at his high school graduation. ]]{{Quote|He was 4 years older than me so having classes was rare. The only one I had with him was back in 2017 when I was taking Algebra II.}}
Little is known regarding Daniel's experiences in high school, however, he is known to have acted as one of the mascots for his schools softball team. Daniel was said to have been obsessed with [[Music Career|singing]] even during high school, however, there were no mentions of [[Grace VanderWaal]]. Though, sometime when Daniel was around 17, he and his grandmother were watching ''[[wikipedia:America's_Got_Talent|America's Got Talent]].'' It is said that when Daniel was watching it with her, his grandmother remarked that he may sing with her on stage some day. Despite the questionable validity of this statement, Daniel convinced himself, even though at the time [[Pedophilia|Grace was 12, and he was 17 years old]], that he was a part of Grace's life and had a relationship with her. This was the birth of his obsession with her.

Daniel graduated from Sobesky Academy at the age of 18 in 2017, not attending any type of higher education afterwards. The validity of his high school diploma is debated, as he most likely has a Certificate of Completion (COC), opposed to an actual high school degree.

It is most likely that Daniel continued to live with his grandmother after this.
===Adult Chronicles ===
[[File:BroadwayPic.png|left|thumb|Nancy's dog, Broadway.|228x228px]]
Even after graduating, it didn't appear that Daniel's life would get any better. Much to everyone's surprise, Daniel was [[November 6th Arrest|arrested]] on November 6th, 2017, after an incident where he physically assaulted his paralyzed, wheelchair-bound [[Elisabeth Shimer|mother]]. Daniel claimed that this incident was a result of his mother cornering him following what was allegedly an argument, but when looking at his charges, this seems unlikely. Daniel was imprisoned for 44-45 days following the arrest. This incident forever ruined him and his mother's relationship, causing Elisabeth to cut all contact with her son.

2019 appeared to be the year when Daniel lost two of the most important people in his life. On April 11, 2019, Daniel had to put down Broadway, his dog, due to her battle with cancer.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/BwI7cPMlZtQ/</ref>
{{Quote|Had to put her down today. She had cancer. She was my baby. She was in 2 live performances. Can you wish her luck and good times. She was a fighter and would fight through anything. Her name was Broadway.}}Even more devastatingly, on July 24, 2019, Nancy Shimer, Daniel's grandmother, arguably the most important person in his life, passed away at the age of 72 after a long battle with cancer, when Daniel was 21. [[File:DanielThriftStore.png|thumb|“A nother day at work.”|300x300px]]It is likely that Daniel was still living with his grandmother before her passing. On the day she died, Daniel was attending a Special Olympics event, during which he was informed of his grandmother being on her deathbed. Instead of going to comfort her at the hospice center, Daniel chose to stay at the event to prove that he was a 'fighter.' This incident, though seemingly minor, reflects the profound lack of respect Daniel had for his grandmother, as he could not even be bothered to be with her as she passed away. [[File:Daniel21birthday.png|left|thumb|217x217px|Daniel, drinking a margarita on his 21st birthday.]]Following the death of his grandmother, Daniel was sent to a state-run group home program for the disabled. Even at the age of 20, Daniel was still unable to take care of himself. This housing program gave him a job at a thrift store sometime in 2019. At this job, Daniel was said to have lost all of his money after falling victim to a gift card scam, which left his employment short-lived.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/139sc49/comment/jj3gtox/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> This can be used as an example of Daniel being trolled, even before social media.
Sometime in 2019, Daniel began posting to TikTok on his account [[@daniellars20]], however, he did not post on this account often. He was also using other social media sites, such as X (Formerly Twitter) and Instagram. It is unknown how he obtained a phone, but it is likely it was bought with the income from his job at the thrift store. His first known Twitter account was [[@DanielL26324766]], on which he posted about his time in the Special Olympics, and videos of himself hiking.

Daniel, opposed to what he would become later in his life, seemed to be significantly more physically fit during this time. He often posted the amount of steps he had attained on his Fitbit from these hikes. Daniel's 21st birthday also fell in 2019. On his Twitter account, he posted his excitement at being able to go to casinos and being able to legally drink. At his birthday dinner, Daniel drank a margarita.<ref>https://x.com/daniel__larson/status/1195519647967334401?s=46</ref>

In February of 2020, Daniel became convinced that he was a fashion model. He applied to a talent agency called [[Southwest Model and Talent Agency]]. At this modeling agency, Daniel starred in a fashion show.

From 2019 to early 2020, Daniel's life would be relatively peaceful, him unknowing of the things to come.

== Classic Era ==
''Main article: [[Classic Era]]''[[File:D9F97C6D-7448-4BFB-8602-C7FE38903361.jpg|thumb|A cropped meme of the May 6th incident.]]The Classic Era began in March 2020 with the creation of Daniel's notable TikTok account, @daniellarsonfans. His content ranged from showcasing his disability housing to expressing his aspirations to be a singer-songwriter and celebrity. Though, it would be his unorthodox appearance and strange mannerisms that would truly gain him notoriety.

One of his popular videos during this time was one where he said "good night, everyone," to the camera, marking a significant rise in his popularity. In July, he announced his 2020 presidential candidacy, gaining ironic support. Because of this, followers of his would begin to call him "Mr. President" ironically. By August, trolls under the guise of entertainment [[management]] companies and record labels began exploiting his desire for fame, manipulating him into saying and doing increasingly offensive and questionable things. Despite this, Daniel continued to amass followers, and released his first song, "[[Fake News]]," in October.

As the next month rolled around, Daniel's reputation took a significant nosedive. In November, Daniel's [[Pinterest]] account was found and subsequently had its contents exposed. The account contained albums of images of children and a map of the age of consent in the United States, strongly suggesting that Daniel had a sexual interest in young girls. Daniel immediately attempted damage control, claiming that the account was not his, even suggesting he had no idea what Pinterest was. These arguments were quickly deconstructed, as the accounts email was linked to an old Twitter account of his.

Daniel would eventually admit ownership of the account, before immediately returning to denying its existence, just before admitting to owning it once more. He was confronted by multiple parties about the account, including his then-management, [[Roach Records]]. Subsequently, Daniel would delete his Pinterest account by November 21, locking down his TikTok account until December.

Upon returning, he was interviewed by [[The Delegation Podcast]], who asked him several questions about the legitimacy of the Pinterest account. After this, they proceeded to report Daniel to the FBI, as they were under the belief that Daniel was in possession of exploitative images of children.

On December 17, 2020, Daniel made his final post, claiming to be auditioning for America's Got Talent, asking his followers to "please stay turned," Despite this, he did not post again after this. It was later revealed that this disappearance was due to him being reported to FBI, as he was under investigation due to him being suspected to be in the possession of CSAM. [[File:Daniel Larson Fog.png|This instance of the fog in July of 2021. Post on @daniellarsonishere.|thumb|left|374x374px]]

=== Headset Arc ===
''Main Article: [[Headset Arc]]''

After returning to social media in March 2021, Daniel explained that his disappearance was due to him being investigated by the FBI, and that he was "safe" now. Evident from the name of this arc, Daniel is seen wearing a [[Headset Arc|gaming headset]] in many of the videos from this time.

During this time, Daniel would begin to be managed by [[Flexburger]], who at this point operated as "Josh," an employee of the fake record label [[Party House Records]]. He hadn't forgotten about the allegations of pedophilia against him, and sought to expose Daniel once more for who he really was. Flexburger posted several screenshots of Daniel talking sexually to individuals he believed to be minors, as well as footage of Daniel discussing how he would legalize child molestation if he were president. As a result, Daniel declared war on Flexburger, upset that his true nature was exposed.

In response to this, Flexburger used his identity as "Josh" to convince Daniel into [[May 6th|'''flashing his penis on TikTok live''']] in front of 500 viewers, resulting in his swift and immediate ban. This very same incident could occur just a day later, to which Daniel claimed that he was hacked, and had no idea what had happened.

Daniels behaviour would become increasingly more erratic throughout 2021, as sometime in late May, he would be kicked out of one of his disability housing situations due to him punching holes in the wall and screaming, which resulted in authorities being called to remove him from the premises.

On June 24th, and a few days afterward, Daniel would have a [[Likee Meltdown|meltdown]] on the video platform, Likee. He was on this platform due to his phone breaking, and was using a laptop to access the website. Daniel, under the assumption that something deadly happened to the VanderWaal family, hysterically demanded updates on the situation. In the end, he would receive no updates, threatening to end his life, and eventually calling the [[Daniel and the Law|police]].

From July 20 to August 2021, Daniel would stay in the [[Pink room|Pink Room]]. This arc was notable for the bizarrely sexual videos that took place during them, many of his videos having a [[Fog Arc|foggy]] effect on them, and Daniel frequently punching holes in the walls. This, of course, would lead to him being kicked out of this housing situation.
===Hype House Arc===
{{SpecialMessage|Message=The rest of this section is riddled with inaccuracies and unsubstantiated claims. It inaccurately portrays the events of 2021 and introduces certain topics without context. Our editors are currently working to correct these issues.}}
''Main Article: [[Hype House Arc]]''

Daniel would go silent for a week after his TikTok account [[@daniellarsoninsocal]], registered to document his time in California, was banned.

Daniel would make his account daniellarsonhotmess around the time of his return, uploading a video of him declaring his hatred for [[The Police|the police]] in a video of him twerking while mouthing off about how bad they are.{{Citation Needed}} In another video in which Daniel is visibly inebriated, he exclaimed that he, "...wants there to be riots."<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@averagelarsonian/video/7101648226318585130</ref>

In November of 2021, [[Goldberg Shacklestein]] was first mentioned by Daniel. Goldberg was actually [[Samantha]], one of Daniel's managers, incognito. According to Daniel, Shacklestein was the supposed leader of the New York mafia.

One video was posted around that same time in which Daniel, Jonas, and [[Gavin]] had a verbal altercation.{{Citation Needed}} This video was the first of many such posts. From late 2021 to early 2022, it became quite common for Daniel to interact with trolls posing as either Grace VanderWaal or Jojo Siwa. Oftentimes these trolls had such an influence on Daniel that he would fulfill requests on their behalf, even if the requests were degrading or incriminating.

==Homeless Era==
{{Rewrite|reason=Misinformation, lack of citations, too long.}}

The exact date of when Daniel became homeless is unknown, with the last known video of him confirmed to be in Jonas' house with a confirmed date being from December 6th, 2021.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFCMt7L5noE</ref> Daniel cut ties with Jonas for currently unknown reasons, meaning that Daniel had lost his last professional source of mental healthcare, which caused him to further succumb to the influences of his management and manipulators.

===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.

On May 13, Daniel went viral for the [[Porch Charging Incident]]. The conflict started when the owner of the property that Daniel was trespassing on asked him to leave, to which Daniel responded by calling the man racial slurs. Daniel's unhinged posting seemed to end when he ran the [[Denver Colfax Marathon 2022|Denver Colfax Marathon]]. He stopped posting anything of interest until June, in which his unhinged posting would begin yet again.

Daniel, after getting arrested for [[Criminal History#Criminal Mischief|criminal mischief]], got into a conflict with his case manager [[Andrew]], and as a result, would start to blame him for anything and everything that went wrong in Daniel's life. He began to have a large amount of micro-meltdowns over him where he, as usual, hit himself and said slurs, claiming that Andrew stole money, damaged his career, and leaked a photo of him masturbating completely nude in a public bathroom.

Daniel, after the end of the Andrew conflict, started showing up to [[Roe v. Wade Reversal Protest|protests]] which were ongoing, following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. On the 27th of June, he would attend an open mic where he told his life story, how he exposed himself on TikTok, his obsession with Grace VanderWaal, and that his grandmother died of cancer because of his autism. This incident would get his name out to many Roe v. Wade protestors and people online, resulting in him getting recognized by multiple people at [[Daniel Gets Mobbed|another Roe v. Wade reversal protest]].

[[Briiink]] would make his first appearance 2 days later on a livestream. Briiink would run into Daniel charging his phone, where he got an autograph and paid Daniel money. It was also around this time that [[Quacko]] started to manipulate Daniel.

The day after this, Daniel would re-enter his dispute with Andrew, as well as start to post about his impending court case for criminal mischief, where he begged for thousands of dollars for "court," not specifying why exactly he needed it. Andrew would generously handle this for Daniel and open a bank account for Daniel, and Daniel would repay him by claiming that Andrew stole "$3,000 a month that's coming into my name."

At the end of June, a ton of events would happen: Bob would re-enter the limelight after telling Daniel that he could not finance Daniel's music career, Daniel would get kicked out of a school for trespassing, made a new TikTok account, Daniel would premier his song "Something More," would expose the fact that r/Daniellarson2 made a [[Discord Fiasco|Discord]] where they manipulated him and Daniel would do a Q/A on [[r/Daniellarson 2]].

Daniel kicked off July with yet another meltdown, this time over Quacko telling him to delay his release of "Something More," which Daniel would release that day. He would then go around town getting banned from multiple restaurants and a hotel. He would then enter a feud with a TikTokker named [[Kanye556]] after Daniel defended his use of the n-word by saying it was okay because he said it with an "a" instead of an "er." He would then claim he entered a [[Daniel's Coma|coma]] after this due to heatstroke, continuing his schizo-posting after this with seemingly no issues at all.

===Return of the Headset===

After an interview with [[Monkeyman Interview|Monkeyman56783]], he decided to part ways with his case manager, Andrew. Contrary to expectations of a negative outcome, he surprisingly started a Twitch channel, generating enough income to afford a hotel, an Airbnb, and a $400 pair of [[Headset Era|headphones]]. During this period, he increased his interactions with [[Briiink]], who, despite knowledge about Daniel's controversial past, engaged in activities like buying meals, going [[Bowling Activities|bowling]], and visiting Hooters with him.

Subsequently, an incident known as the [[The Toothbrush Incident|Toothbrush Incident]] occurred, involving a leaked video of Daniel engaging in unconventional behavior. This led to the [[July 2022 Electronic Destruction Spree]], marked by the smashing of headsets and electronic devices. In a sequence of events, he replaced his items only to destroy them again, including a Spiderman-branded headset intended for children. On July 25th, Grace VanderWaal's mom, Tina VanderWaal, warned Daniel via Facebook Messenger to stop mentioning her daughter, expressing concern for her family's well-being, and later reiterated her plea publicly, urging him to stop involving them and seeking legal intervention if he persisted. Daniel would then respond with "I understand... I'm ending my life tonight."

Daniel, after a break in posting, would reveal his new manager and enabler, [[Ox]]. After firing him almost immediately, Ox, for an alleged change, would positively influence Daniel; he would get Daniel an ID, and made Daniel apologize for saying the N-word. He would then stop this string of good influence by convincing Daniel that there was a [[Nuclear Attack|nuclear attack]] on livestream for money, which would get Ox fired and reported to the police, and Daniel's Twitch account banned.
== Second Housing Arc ==
[[File:Dildodelivery.png|left|thumb|431x431px|Yes, someone ''actually'' delivered this to his house.]]
''Main Article: [[Second Housing Arc]]''

In July 2022, Daniel reached out for assistance from the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center, or the [[DDRC]], for housing. At this point, he had spent close to half a year being homeless, so Daniel was desperately in need of permanant housing. After several meetings with them, Daniel secured housing shortly thereafter.

By August 31, 2022, he had moved into a new home, marking the start of the Second Housing Arc. However, his stay at this housing unit did not last for long, as during the incident capturing his eviction suggested that Daniel had 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, notably instances where Daniel may have shared the address of his housing, which resulted in the house being pizza bombed by trolls. This also caused several deliveries being made to the house, most notably the delivery of a '''''glass dildo''','' among many other inappropriate items.

All of this would eventually result in his [[Miss P|eviction]] on October 16, where Daniel would cry, scream, and cause even more property damage before being taken out by the police, and receiving a subsequent citation. Reports from his housing provider indicated concerns for personal safety, raising questions about Daniel's behavior during his tenure.

== Travel Arc ==
{{Stub}}
[[File:ScabiesWorldTour.png|thumb|336x336px|A map of Daniel's travels throughout the arc. ]]
''Main article: [[Travel Arc]]''

After the [[December 10th Incident]], an incident where Daniel assaulted his elderly mentor, [[Bob Proctor]], while screaming "The motel threatened to kill me!" The true backstory behind this incident is unknown, but due to this, Bob would send Daniel to Los Angeles, California. This was speculated to be because of 5150 laws in California, which allow adults who are experiencing a mental health crisis to be held in psychiatric hospitalization for up to 72 hours.

In California, Daniel would visit a strip club and go to Disneyland, despite being a [[Daniel Larson's Finances|penniless]] vagrant. Most notably, Daniel would contract [[scabies]] during this time. While it is not entirely clear where he caught it from, it is very likely that this came from him sleeping outside and in porta potties. After this, Daniel would go to [[Travel Arc/Las Vegas|Las Vegas, Nevada]] after taking a bus from Palmdale, California.
== Cameo Arc ==
[[File:Cameo Review.png|left|thumb|251x251px|A dissatisfied review on Daniel's cameo account. ]]''Main article: [[Cameo 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 following an altercation with employees.

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 per video. Daniel eventually realized the need for lower prices to boost accessibility and increase sales, settling on $10 per video. However, the prices continued to fluctuate, occasionally going back up to $100. Despite the high prices, Daniel consistently failed to fulfill 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 ==
''Main article: [[Dog Arc]]''
[[File:WeenMusicPic.png|thumb|281x281px|A photo of Zola after being rescued. ]]
On July 9, 2023, Daniel adopted a German Shepherd mix named Zola from the Longmont Humane Society in [[wikipedia:Longmont,_Colorado|Longmont, Colorado]], which he renamed Music. He intended her to act as a "guard dog." Given that Daniel's history of violence towards others (and himself), many showed immediate concern. This concern soon turned to rage as footage surfaced of Daniel depriving Zola of water, combined with Daniel contemplating giving the animal nachos.

It was revealed that the Longmont Humane Society had not conducted a proper background check on Daniel, leading to them being horrified as his online history came to light.<ref>[[Longmont Humane Society Employee AMA]]</ref> Despite calls to return Music to the shelter and worries about her well-being, Daniel continued posting videos with her. Efforts intensified, leading the Longmont Humane Society to take steps to remove Music from Daniel's care, as well as [[List of places that have banned Daniel|permanently banning him from the premises]]. A collective community effort successfully located Daniel and Music, which culminated in WeenWeenMusic, a member of [[Ceel Team 6]], a rescue party led by former YouTuber [[Goated Mines]], rescuing Music and returning her to the Longmont Humane Society on July 11.

The situation escalated dramatically after Music was taken from Daniel. Daniel reacted intensely, going into a Walmart, [[The 7/11 Incident|voicing his anger by destroying several stands of merchandise]]. After being released from police custody, Daniel's made videos and live streams where he claimed to have contacted emergency services, alluding to creating bombs. Actions such as these would ultimately lead to his admission into a [[Psychiatric Hospital|mental health facility]] for the next week. After a period of psychiatric evaluation and treatment, Daniel was released from the mental health ward on July 19.

== College Arc ==
[[File:Danielarrestfolsom.png|thumb|342x342px|Looks like Daniel Better Call Saul!]]
''Main article: [[College Arc]]''

On September 10th, 2023, Daniel began to announce his plans to enroll in college on his YouTube community tab, specifically stating that he would be attending CU Boulder. 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.

However, his time at the college would be short lived, as Daniel was [[Folsom Field Arrest|arrested for third-degree assault]] against 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 November 30, Daniel would go back to court and be sentenced to 12-month probation, 48 hours of community service, be fined, and be subject to anger management classes.

== Reverse Mohawk Arc ==
[[File:Reverse mohawk.png|left|thumb|229x229px|The face of a madman! ]]
''Main Article: [[Reverse Mohawk]]''

''Further Reading: [[Timeline (2023, fourth quarter)]],'' ''[[Timeline (2024, first quarter)]]''

On October 23, 2023, [[trolls]] would give Daniel a "haircut." These trolls partially cut Daniel's hair down the middle, which was immediately dubbed as the, "Reverse Mohawk." The trolls abandoned him before finishing the haircut, claiming their car had been stolen. This left Daniel looking more unstable than ever, with the unfortunate coincidence of him having a court date the following week. Unsurprisingly, Daniel did not fix his hair, and on October 31, Daniel would attend court, only to be met with six-month probation and a mandatory mental health evaluation.

18 days later, still donning the reverse mohawk, Daniel would have a meltdown inside of a [[Panera Bread Incident|Panera Bread]] on November 10, due to "fans leaking his location." This led to him aggressively punch himself, exclaim threats of self-harm, [[Self Defense Word|racial slurs]], and psychotic screams, right before going to into fits of hysterical crying. Daniel also attempted to assault a Panera Bread employee, which led to law enforcement eventually being called. This incident resulted in Daniel getting [[List of places that have banned Daniel|banned]] from all Panera Bread locations.

== UCLA Arc ==
''Main Article: [[UCLA Arc]]''

Throughout January of 2024, Daniel would start attending UCLA, another college. Unbeknownst to Daniel, this was a clever scheme thought up by his manager, [[Clark]], where he was taught several false things, from "Ancient Texas" to the empress of China, Mai Coo Chee Itch. Throughout this arc, Daniel was supposed to be attending probation meetings, and even more, he had several warrants out for his arrest. Instead of tending to these very important things, he prioritized these ridiculously fake college classes.

==Jail Arc ==
[[File:Feb2024MugShot.jpeg|thumb|One of Daniel's many mugshots]]
''Main article: [[Jail Arc]]''

Going into 2024, Daniel would continue his escapades, completely unaware that this would be the year that he would be [[Jail (Disambiguation)|arrested over 5 times]], eventually resulting in him [[Second Jail Arc|being at risk of being imprisoned for over 65 years]].

After getting [[January 5th Incident|chased around by trolls]], Daniel would be [[Denver International Airport Arrest|arrested at an airport]] on January 9th for his multiple active warrants before being released on a PR bond. The terms of his PR bond required him to progressively pay off his bond and show up to all of his court hearings. He would do neither, favoring buying expensive meals he could not pay for, attending [[UCLA Arc|fake college classes]], and narrowly evading justice on a multitude of occasions.

He had the police called on him multiple times, such as when Daniel, once again, was [[Fart Spray Incident|chased around]] by [[trolls]], as well as when he got [[January 26 Hospital Incident|kicked out of a hospital]] (which he threatened a mass shooting against post-ejection), although he would not be arrested.

Daniel was arrested once more on February 3, 2024. This was on the charge of him being a fugitive of justice, which were due to the consequences of not fulfilling his PR bond. His bond was set at $20,000, which was later lowered to $5,000 with a $500 cash option. He was released on March 1, 2024, to which he stayed in numerous hotels. Even so, Daniel was [[March 19th Arrest|arrested less than 3 weeks later]] for the '''same charge''', this time in Jefferson County. His bond was set at $1,000. Following a court hearing, he was released on March 22, 2024, only staying in jail for a meager day and a half. Ten days later, he was, '''again''', [[April 2nd Arrest|arrested for the ''same charge'']] in Lone Tree while on the bus back to Denver. He spent the night in jail, and was released the next day.

Four days after his release, he had a [[April 6th Meltdown|massive meltdown]] where he, in a fit of rage, made many terroristic threats toward Bob, as well as other federal agencies including a secret service agent. This would not serve him in the long run.

==Second Jail Arc==
{{Ongoing|small=left}}
[[File:DanielMugshot4.png|thumb|Just look at that deadpan stare.]]
''Main Article: [[Second Jail Arc]]''

On April 30, 2024, Daniel would be arrested due to the many threats he had made towards businesses, family members, and most notably, [[Daniel MacDougall|government entities and agencies]]. Daniel would be charged with 7 counts of threats, each of these being federal charges. Given the severity of the charges, he may be put in prison for a long time, possibly several decades. During this time, Daniel's manager, [[Clark]], would admit to lying about who he was, and everything he had done up to this point. Even more, Bob was found to have been in contact with Daniel once more.

Daniel would be ordered to have a mental health evaluation multiple times, as the judge believed he was not competent to stand trial. On May 31, Daniel was transferred to the Englewood Federal Correction Institution. On July 19, a psychiatric report was filed. In this report, it is revealed that Daniel would be being institutionalized in an unknown mental health facility after being found incompetent for trial, as well as an attempt for further evaluation.

Daniel was transferred out of Englewood on December 10, 2024. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1hc1xqm/daniel_transferred_to_oklahoma/</ref>

Seeing as Daniel is at risk of being in prison for several decades, many have seen this as the official ending of the Daniel Larson saga.

Daniel and politics

2025-02-10T11:09:02Z

Gamer: tried to clarify some language. /* Presidential Campaign */ shortened and linked to main article.

[[Daniel Larson]] has a history of '''political activism''' that spans several years, during which he has expressed a range of opinions on various issues. While some of these opinions are conflicting or not well-thought-out, they nevertheless reflect Larson's engagement with political issues and his efforts to voice his views.

== BLM ==
[[File:Be a lem.jpg|thumb|317x317px]]Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a loosely organized political and social activism campaign that sought to combat racial inequality in the United States. The campaign has existed since 2013 but gained popularity after the killing of George Floyd in 2020. It is notably the main organizer behind the George Floyd protests.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Lives_Matter</ref> The movement is controversial with right-leaning and non-violent speakers due to it being the face of many destructive riots spurred by the murder of George Floyd and other victims of primarily police brutality.

=== Support of BLM ===
Daniel, almost directly after knowledge of the George Floyd incident hit the public, made a video of him doing [[Jumping Jacks]],<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/vdhsg9/rip_george_floyd/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> declaring:<blockquote>''"This is for George Floyd. Rest in peace. Black lives matter."''

{{#evt:
service=archiveorg
|id=blm-daniel-larson
}}

</blockquote>He would make another video soon after during the [[The Fog|Fog era]], sending an ominous message stating:<blockquote>''"Rest in peace, George Floyd. The police should be terminated"''</blockquote>''It should be noted Daniel is in most cases anti-police due to his [[Criminal History|several]] negative interactions with them.''

==== Hypocrisy ====
Daniel, despite declaring his approval for this leftist organization meant to combat racism, is a prominent [[Daniel Larson's Racism|racist]] himself who has made not only derogatory comments about multiple racial groups but of George Floyd himself, naming one of his cryptic [[Daniel Larson Codes|codes]] after Floyd.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/12i5hqw/code_george_floyd/</ref> It is unclear what lead to a pivot in Daniel’s opinions on Floyd.

== Anti-Cyberbullying Campaign ==
Daniel is a constant target of trolling and harassment for a multitude of reasons, such as his [[pedophilia]], his insane and [[Daniel's acts of violence|violent]] actions, and his [[Daniel Larson's health|mental illness]] which prevents him from responding rationally to trolling. He has stated multiple times that trolls and reddit moderators need to be doxxed and that the [[r/Daniellarson]] Subreddit needs to be shut down due to them bullying him, although he has stated that the [[Daniel Larson Wiki]] should stay up. He does like certain Daniel subreddits more, such as [[R/daniellarsonfans]] and the Discord server Daniel Larson World.

He has stated that he is in support of making trolling and cyberbullying illegal.

In the aftermath of the [[Walmart Ban]], Daniel announced that he was starting a movement to "stop hate, against people with disabilities and celebrities." It's unclear if he meant these as separate groups, or if he was referring specifically to individuals belonging to both categories, like he [[Delusions|would]] be.

== Presidential Campaign ==
''Main article: [[Presidential Campaigns]]''[[File:Daniel-Larson-for-President.png|thumb|237x237px|Presidential campaign poster]]Daniel announced on July 14th, 2020 during the 2020 presidential elections that he would be running for president of the United States. He has never expressed what party he belongs to or what kind of policies he would instill as president, and he never announced a running mate. Daniel lost to Joe Biden in 2020.

Daniel did not run for president in 2024, and even if he did, it's safe to assume he would have lost to Donald Trump. Despite being in prison, it's likely he would have started discussing political topics in the lead-up to the election.

== Various Political Statements ==
[[File:BrittenyGriner.jpg|thumb|Photo of Brittney]]

=== Brittney Griner Deal ===
On February 17, 2022, Brittney Griner was detained at the Sheremetyevo International Airport in Russia after smuggling 0.5 grams of hash oil into the country, her alleging that it was an accident.

After a short amount of trialing, Griner plead guilty and was given 7 years of imprisonment and a fine of 1 million rubles (~$16,000 USD), even though the sentencing for less than two grams was supposed to be punished by 15 days imprisonment.

Viktor Bout, nicknamed the ''Merchant of Death'', is a notorious Russian arms dealer who supplied multiple militant and terrorist groups, was controversially traded for Griner in a deal with the US government. Viktor would later be released, and so was Griner.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Bout%E2%80%93Brittney_Griner_prisoner_exchange</ref>

In early December of 2022, Daniel made a video about the deal, him knowing so little about it he thought that Griner was traded for weapons rather than a weapons dealer.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/zgsx4h/mr_president_has_released_a_statement/</ref> He was opposed to the deal, him commenting:<blockquote>''"I think the arms deal with Russia, in exchange for Brittney Griner, was a dangerous move. I wanna know what 'arms' we're talking about, what weapons we're talking about here, because we are ready."''</blockquote>
[[File:Ukraine.jpg|thumb|342x342px]]

=== Ukrainian War ===
The war in Ukraine is an ongoing war occurring between Russia and Ukraine that started in early 2022 and had a long and complex history behind it that Daniel does not understand.

Daniel has voiced support for Ukraine and has voiced opposition to Russia in various, usually naïve ways. He has stated that we need to destroy Russia, charge Russia with murder (if he's referring to the entire Russian population, the Russian government, or Putin himself is unclear), and that Putin should be arrested.

Daniel has also stated interest in going to Ukraine, but these are definitely troll-influenced empty promises.

=== Age of Consent Laws ===
Daniel, being a [[Pedophilia|pedophile]], has stated that he is in favor of lowering age of consent laws in the United States. He has also stated that CP should be legal with permission of the parent.{{Citation Needed}} Given the extreme nature of these statements, it's possible a troll influenced him, although this can't be confirmed.

=== War in Israel ===
In late 2023, Daniel expressed that he was a supporter of Israel.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/175ugj9/ok_guys_how_do_we_convince_him_that_the/</ref>

=== Vague mentions ===
Across his many, many online videos, Daniel makes many minor political statements that suggest possible troll influence.

An example of this could be the Larson quote "Free R Kelly". This statement refers to R Kelly, a popular R&B singer, who was arrested and charged with human trafficking, racketeering, statutory rape, and enticement.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._Kelly#Abuse_scandals_and_court_cases</ref> This was probably influenced by trolls.
