Grace VanderWaal: Difference between revisions

'''Grace Avery VanderWaal''' (Born January 15th, 2004) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_VanderWaal</ref> whom [[Daniel Larson]] has had an obsession with since his childhood, before he ever had any contact with the internet. Daniel's obsession with Grace began during his hyper-fixation with fame and his desire to date a celebrity, namely during the time when he would watch America's Got Talent with his grandmother, [[Nancy Shimer]], during his childhood. Ever since then, Daniel has been attracted to her, despite at the time of his infatuation being [[Pedophilia|underage]]. Daniel is [[Pedophilia|physically attracted]] to Grace and ever since his infatuation with her started, he has decided, without her knowledge or consent, that they are dating. This 'relationship' would progress quickly due to Daniel's delusions (mostly fed by fake managers and trolls), leading to his posts on his [[Social Media Accounts|numerous social media accounts]] regarding her becoming far more explicit in nature, including but not limited to Daniel divulging sexual fantasies about Grace and the various unspeakable acts he'd commit towards her if he were to come into contact with her, to hysterically crying about her supposed "death".  

Grace has never publicly acknowledged Daniel, but according to messages from her mother, Tina VanderWaal, she wants nothing to do with him, which is highly believable. Grace is often impersonated by trolls, who use her identity to gain Daniel's trust. Daniel is easily fooled by this due to either his sickening lust for her or his obvious mental issues, maybe even both. On multiple occasions, Daniel has made a fool of himself by talking to these trolls about various disturbing subjects and sending revealing, and even illegal, material to them. Even when acknowledging that there are multiple people pretending to be Grace to gain his trust, he never manages to completely acknowledge that these people are actually trolls, lest he have to accept that Grace and her family are absolutely horrified by Daniel and want nothing to do with him.   

Daniel, well aware that Grace was only 17 at the start of his obsession, made various posts claiming that he would "wait until Grace is 18". Daniel has claimed to be in either a romantic or sexual relationship with Grace depending on his feelings (or delusions) at the time. If romantic, he claimed that Grace was his girlfriend. If sexual, he explains the various explicit sexual acts he'd do to her. Even so, no matter what he is feeling, It is extremely disturbing no matter what.  

</gallery>Daniel seems to hold Grace in particularly high regard. Thus, Grace is oftentimes the primary victim of Daniel's delusional harassment. Every once in a while, posts made by Grace on TikTok or Instagram would be filled to the brim with comments from Daniel as if he were having a conversation with her in real time. Furthermore, in any TikTok posts that Daniel made that regarded Grace, he would tag her, which would result in her notifications being filled with nothing but Daniel. He does this on almost every TikTok account he has, to the point where one of Daniel's TikTok accounts was suspended for his constant harassment towards her.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEyEUscOr6A&feature=youtu.be</ref>

During one particular delusion, Daniel, seemingly because he is without access to his phone, posts on Likee, a short video creating site that he stayed on during a period of time when he was banned from TikTok, in absolute despair for his followers to get him information. Based on the content of this videos, he is under the impression that there has been some kind of accident and that the VanderWaal family, whom he believes were in contact with him up until this point, is refusing to give him information regarding something he claims to have happened to Grace. Throughout the video, Daniel hits himself and threatens to end his own life. If you know anything about Daniel, he obviously did not follow through with his threats. Additionally, Daniel says that if he doesn't get into contact with the VanderWaal family immediantly, he would allegedly be homeless and on the streets.<ref>https://archive.org/details/the-likee-meltdown</ref> This was a sign, although small, of things to come.  

Grace, of course, tells them that they have never been in contact with Daniel and never plan to be in contact with Daniel, emphatically stating her hatred for him and desire for him to keep her name out his disgusting, scabies-infected mouth. None of which is surprising, considering the very disturbing things he's done in the pursuit of her, and the behaviour of the people who follow his antics. No matter how you feel about Daniel, spam commenting Grace and her family members about Daniel is unacceptable behaviour. Grace and her family have done virtually nothing to deserve it and are purely victims of circumstance. So-called "trolls" message her mother and say Daniel and Grace are dating, taunting her with photoshopped images of Grace and Daniel nearly on the daily. This behaviour is disgusting whether you hate Daniel or love Daniel and there is no denying it or getting around it. Grace shares this sentiment wholeheartadly.
