Likee Meltdown: Difference between revisions

The '''Likee Meltdown,''' also known as '''Rest in Peace Dave and Grace VanderWaal''', is one of the earliest known [[incidents]] in the [[Daniel Larson]] story, occurring on June 25, 2021. This was Daniel's first documented meltdown. Unlike any later meltdowns, this was not one single video. Instead, it is a series of clips posted on Likee, a video-posting platform Daniel used due to not having access to his phone, along with a YouTube video titled '''Rest in peace dave and grace vanderwaal'''.   

At the beginning, Daniel calmly explains that, due to his phone breaking, he was using a laptop to upload videos to Likee in an effort to reach out to his current [[Management]], and most notably, the "VanderWaal Team", before eventually spiraling into a mental breakdown. This was due to him being convinced by [[trolls]] that [[Grace VanderWaal]], his longtime crush, had died and that the VanderWaal Team was withholding information from him. However, things took a sharp turn as Daniel began having a meltdown, frantically demanding to be "let back on the team", while threatening his own life and hitting his head. Daniel soon starts blaming an unidentified individual known only as “JP”, and a caretaker,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/139sc49/comment/jj3n5bc/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> for "all of this".

Adding to the weirdness, it is unclear what happened before or after the incident concluded. In addition to the confusion, JP's response video to the Likee Meltdown (at least according to comments on reddit) was subsequently lost.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/o9dvd7/who_is_jp/</ref>
