Hype House Arc

From Daniel Larson Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search



The Hype House Arc (also referred to as the Hype House Saga and mistaken as the First Housing Arc) was an arc and key chapter of the Classic Era in the Daniel Larson story. During this arc, he was placed in a group home with his most notable case manager, Jonas, who Daniel detested due to perceived "abuse," and a housemate named Gavin. Daniel moved into this home in August 2021 immediately after destroying the pink room, and eventually fled this house around December 13, starting the Homeless Era.

The house was perpetually in a state of chaos, and Daniel's paranoia and anxiety were high during his time there, at one point believing that he was "poisoned" after his macaroni and cheese had honey mustard. Additionally, in the last two weeks of the arc, Gavin became notorious for having frequent meltdowns, which sometimes prompted Daniel to act out in response. [1]

Background

Prior to the Hype House Arc was the Pink Room Arc, where he lived in a pink bedroom for most of summer 2021 before he destroyed the room's walls by punching, kicking and slamming his head into them.

Etymology

The term "Hype House" is derived from the TikTok Hype House, wherein a large group of famous TikTokers lived in a giant mansion in 2020.[2] Ironically, despite this implying that the Hype House had many members, it was just Daniel and Gavin, as well as Jonas and his wife.

Jonas

Jonas, sometimes referred to as Jonaz or Jonez, served as the caretaker of this arc and appeared in multiple TikTok videos. Daniel seemed to have a grudge against him, for supposed "abuse," and would frequently instigate altercations with Jonas, even accusing him of being "racist" towards him. It was clear that, despite not kicking him out, did not want Daniel in the house.

Gavin

Gavin was Daniel's housemate in the "Hype House" and appeared frequently in Daniel's videos, where he was known for having meltdowns that Daniel recorded and posted on TikTok; Daniel often blamed broken items and holes in the walls - many of which he caused, on Gavin's meltdowns. Fans noted that Gavin had a resemblance to the character Hal Stewart from Megamind.

Significant Events

August 14th Incident/Jonas Incident

Shortly after moving into the Hype House, Daniel had a meltdown after Jonas attempted to take his phone. During this video, Daniel screams at Jonas, accusing him of "assaulting" him, though Jonas never did so on video. This incident was likely the first footage of Jonas. [3]

Mac N Cheese Incident

On November 18, 2021, Daniel was given Mac 'N Cheese, when he commented that it tasted like "cow piss" and claimed he was being poisoned, assuming the dish contained jalapenos.

Bing Bong Stream

Main Article: Bing Bong Video

On November 28, 2021, Daniel went live on TikTok acting very bizarre. He "praises" Jonas, telling his viewers to worship him. At one point, Daniel danced around his room while repeatedly chanting "bing bong." The ritual was briefly interrupted when he vomited off-screen, only to return and resume his "bing bong" chant. He continued to "worship" Jonas, calling him the chosen one and the king, asking Jonas to "come inside him," making strange noises, and even doing jumping jacks at one point.


November 29th Incident

On November 29, 2021, Daniel went live on TikTok outside the house, where a chaotic situation unfolded. Gavin had a meltdown after he got the police called on him by Jonas, because Gavin supposedly slapped him. Loud noises, possibly from Gavin hitting walls or breaking objects, could be heard in the background. During the outburst, Gavin repeatedly demanded Jonas to call his mother, and at one point, he shouted her phone number, which was audible on the stream and had around 7,000 viewers at that time. Gavin became shocked when the police arrived at the house. [4]

Fleeing

Daniel fled the Hype House on December 1, and moved into an assisted living apartment. [5] Within a couple weeks, he got kicked out and became homeless.
