Arcs Involved: First Housing Arc

Gavin, often nicknamed Hal Stewart or The Other Client, was Daniel's mentally ill housemate in a group home with Jonas. Gavin moved into the house in September 2021 and was shown in a lot of Daniel's videos during the Hype House Arc. He became known for his frequent meltdowns, often accompanied by high-pitched screams, which Daniel recorded and shared on TikTok. Daniel regularly attributed broken items and wall damage in the house to Gavin and his meltdowns. Gavin was sometimes humorously nicknamed "Hal Stewart" in TikTok comments due to his strong resemblance to the character from Megamind.

Since Daniel quit his housing/disability services with Jonas, Gavin has not reappeared in the Larsonverse. It was revealed that he was kicked out a week after Daniel's departure. Gavin was a key figure in the Hype House Saga.

Videos

First appearances of Gavin

The earliest appearance of Gavin was in a video Daniel posted on September 16, 2021, where he "roasted" Gavin, only for him to be confused. This appears to be the date he moved into the house.

On September 29, 2021, Daniel made several strange videos with Gavin and uploaded them to TikTok.

Run

Gavin's meltdowns became increasingly frequent toward the end of the Hype House Arc. On November 24, 2021, his name was revealed to be Gavin.

There is a video from November 23, 2021 of Daniel clearly distressed, when Gavin begins to scream at him and threaten him. When he comes past, Daniel proceeds to run upstairs, lock himself in a room, begin sobbing, and kick a hole into the wall multiple times.

November 26

On (presumably) November 26, 2021, Daniel posted a video on @daniellarsonlive where Gavin can be heard screaming in the background. Throughout the video, Daniel's phone repeatedly vibrates from incoming calls.

November 29

During one of Daniel's last streams before he fled his housing service, Gavin had the cops called on him by Jonas after he allegedly slapped him. During this altercation, Gavin had a meltdown and loud noises could be heard in the background, likely from him damaging walls and breaking items. In the midst of his rage, Gavin yelled his mother's phone number, which was heard on Daniel's live stream, which at the time had around 7,000 viewers. Gavin was spooked by the arrival of the cops at the house.

Touching Incident

During the latter period of the Hype House Arc, Daniel got into a verbal altercation with Gavin. Daniel recorded the encounter with Gavin as he attempted to touch him, while Daniel shrieked at him to get away. Gavin ultimately cornered Daniel in the living room before finally leaving.

Virgin Discussion

In one of the more humorous videos, Gavin appeared on Daniel's stream while Daniel was enjoying a few slices of pizza. Daniel casually mentioned that he wanted to have sex with Rihanna, which sparked a discussion with Gavin. Gavin repeatedly stated that he was a virgin. Daniel also suggested Gavin should train with Dwayne Johnson to get in shape. Gavin responded, saying he wanted to get in shape to have sex and become a "real man."

Boyfriend

There was an encounter with Daniel discussing whether he wants to be his boyfriend. Gavin agreed to be Daniels' boyfriend in the short video.

Stand Down

On November 26, 2021, Daniel argued with Miranda about being woken up at 7 in the morning. During the argument, Gavin intervened, telling Daniel to "stand down." Daniel immediately kicked a hole into the kitchen wall, before following Miranda up the stairs, continuing to yell at her. The aftermath of the situation ends up being that Daniel lies about it, and then Jonas allegedly calls the cops on him.

Gavin: STAND DOWN! No! Not the kitchen [unintelligible] wall! Oh crap...

Daniel: You woke me up in the middle of the night! You woke everyone up!

Aftermath

Gavin was not seen again after Daniel left Jonas' home. It was revealed that a week after Daniel fled the Hype House, Gavin was evicted from the house. However, in October 2023 Daniel believed that Gavin was one of the r/Daniellarson mods. He was also told that Gavin snuck in a phone, and that Gavin's mother was threatening DDRC to sue Daniel.
