Bob Proctor: Difference between revisions

Bob has been acquainted with Daniel since his formative years, and it is likely that he is the only genuine father figure Daniel has ever had, especially after Daniel's his own [[Travis Larson|father]] disowned him due to his outbursts and given the alleged abuse Daniel suffered at the hands of Travis.  

Daniel and Bob first came into contact through a reading buddy program at the [[Tennyson Center]], a facility Daniel went for schooling and living in his teens, during a time when he was still recovering from abuse from his parents. While living at the Tennyson Center (at the time of an ongoing custody battle), Daniel had the opportunity to attend a reading buddy program once a week. Daniel reports that he and Bob, "...really hit it off," enough that the Tennyson Center permitted them to have a relationship outside their program. Ever since their initial meeting, Bob became a "mentor" to Daniel, although his abilities at mentoring Daniel are debatable.

Despite his alleged profession in the medical field, Bob obviously has no idea how to handle a very mentally ill person such as Daniel. As mentioned in the [[Caretaker Call]] (even while considering its questionable validity), while Bob obviously has lots of care for Daniel, he has no idea how to care for a person with as many [[Daniel Larson's health|mental issues]] as Daniel. This has, obviously, not been in his favor, because as a result of Daniel's schizophrenia and autism, they have had many fights that have resulted in Bob having to call the police to de-escalate the situation. However, one of the most notable incidents between them where they don't have any sort of physical altercation is the [[Big Dick Muscle Man Incident]] where Bob refers to American social media personality [[Jacob Sartorius]] as "Big Dick Muscle Man", in between Daniel arguing with Bob about the validity of his delusions, and oddly, the size of his own penis.

Despite Bob’s issues with Daniel, he has continued to support him. After Daniel broke his phone during his [[Travel Arc|world tour]] in Texas, Bob bought Daniel a new one. However, Daniel has remained consistently ungrateful, treating Bob as more of a paypig than a person. Bob has funded many of Daniels endeavors, most notably his career as a singer-songwriter, funding studio sessions to record songs such as [[Roaring Thunder]] and [[Something More]].
