The Classic Arc encompasses Daniel Larson's journey from the inception of his TikTok account, @daniellarsonfans, to his substantial growth and following on the platform. This period spans from around March 2020 to late 2021, ending during the beginning of the Homeless Era. During this period, especially during video's in 2020, Daniel's videos were notably more tame compared to his current content, likely due to his medication, housing, and lack of trolls. It can be argued that during this era, Daniel was significantly less mentally ill compared to his behavior following this.

During the Classic Era, the arcs that corresponded with it were the Fog Arc, and the Headset Arc. This era is notable for being the era where Daniel's Pinterest account was found, him being reported to the FBI following it, and for the lack of archiving of it in general. Additionally, this arc is notable for the incidents that occurred during it, most infamously, the May 6th Incident.

While not his first account, the Classic Era would begin with the creation of Daniel's most notable TikTok account, @DanielLarsonFans, in March 2020. It should also be noted that Daniel was known to have an account named @DanielLarson_Fans at this time, although it is unclear if these are the same account. Sometime during March, Daniel uploaded his first video, which is footage of Daniel's neighborhood surrounding his then disability housing.[1] One of Daniel's most popular video's was of him wearing a green shirt, in which he says "Good night everyone", and thanks his followers for their support.[2] This is considered to be the point in time in which Daniel Larson developed the cult following seen today. This was due to his unorthodox appearance and strange mannerisms, which would soon push him into the spotlight. Daniel would post a variety of content, such as his then disability housing, him singing, and posting about his aspirations to be a singer-songwriter and a celebrity.

On March 25th, Daniel was under the effects of a stay-at-home order in Colorado due to the burgeoning COVID-19 pandemic, which increased his social media use.[3] During May, it appears as though Daniel was staying in a disability housing arrangement where he had access to a child. While this child's name is not known, Daniel had taken several videos of this child and posted it to @DanielLarsonFans.[4] Knowing what he is now, this is extremely disturbing.

Daniel would begin posting increasingly popular videos on his various TikTok pages in May 2020, when he was staying in the Green Room. This month was most notable as it took place during the recent George Floyd protests (or to Daniel, riots), where he'd start voicing his opinions on the matter. He first posted about it on the 28th of May, on Twitter, where he stated that the situation was unfair because, in Daniel's words, "we are all equal."[5]

jumping jacks as a tribute to George Floyd during the then current BLM protests, as well as being under the assumption that his fans were rioting in the streets.

Sometime in July, during the 2020 presidential election, Daniel announced that he would be running for President of the United States. While it is unknown when the first video announcing this was made, a post from the 10th of July from his Twitter account can be found regarding this topic.[6] Despite not stating what political party he belonged to or what kind of policies he'd instill, people began to ironically encourage him, calling him "Mr. President" as they played along. In his TikToks from this time, Daniel called for a Coronavirus vaccine to be made by Halloween of that year, as if he truly was the President.[7]

Thats our president!

Beginning in August, Daniel would begin to be contacted by several false management "companies" and record labels, who sought to exploit his desire to be famous. Though, this appears to have begun as early as July, as a post on Reddit claims that during July 2020, the band, Rectus Abdominus, attempted to sign Daniel to a company named Graduate Records after his phone number was leaked. This appears to have been a legitimate record label, evidenced by the fact that it had shut its doors in 2022 after producing multiple songs, such as Heart Shaped Lakes' debut album, Good Grief: A Violent Dream. After their conversation, Daniel was not interested in signing to the label as he claimed it was "not big enough", proceeding to then sign on to Fine Dining Records.

These management companies would convince him to say several degrading and controversial things, most notably a video wherein Daniel apologizes for being in the possession of CP.[8] Most notable were factitious birthday messages Daniel would send out to individuals such as Ted Bundy, "Mike Hunt", and "Gabe itch", even being made to say racial slurs at times. Even more, Daniel was made to strip nude by these record companies, which is evidenced by a now-lost Zoom meeting organized by "Titan.Co", another fake management company.[9][10] In this meeting, Daniel is noted to have exposed himself in front of over 20 minors, but this is unconfirmed.

Infamous posts such as these caused Daniel to accumulate tens of thousands of followers, prompting the creation of r/Daniellarson in October 2020. During the same month, Daniel released his first song, Fake News, on the 31st. While this was not studio recorded, this would set the groundwork for his future musical works.

During late 2020, Daniel lived in disability housing run by a woman named "Dawn".[11] While living in this housing arrangement, Daniel was in contact with her two kids, Breanna and her unnamed brother. Daniel took several photos and videos of them, most notably one where he is seen pushing Breanna onto a bed.[12] During October 23rd, Daniel would make live streams with the two. It should be noted that Daniel demands for these children to refer to him as their brother. This would be a sign of things to come.

Pinterest Leak

On November 17th, 2020, Daniel's Pinterest account was found and leaked. While archiving of information from around this time is sparse, it is said that now-banned TikToker @HottieLarson discovered it. This account dated back far before Daniel ever became popular on TikTok, and well before management stepped into his life. According to TikTok's by now banned user @Diper_911, the account was found through an email associated with his Twitter account.[13] The account had albums filled with images of children, most notably celebrities such as Grace VanderWaal and Darci Lynne Farmer, who were both 16 at the time. However, it should be noted that the pictures saved to his Pinterest were photos of them from when they were even younger. Additionally, the Pinterest account contained maps of the United States which listed the age of consent for each state, and photos of his various underage celebrity crushes.

After this, Daniel immediately opted to saying that the Pinterest account hadn't belonged to him, and at one point, pretended that he hadn't even know what Pinterest even was.[14] Keep in mind that this was all in between Daniel admitting to owning it, right before going back to saying he was forced into making it.

On November 19th, Daniel's then management, Roach Records, would pull him into a Zoom Meeting with TikToker @Diper_911 to confront him about the Pinterest account. Following this, Daniel was pulled into a Zoom meeting where he was questioned by multiple people about his Pinterest account. Daniel claimed to have been hacked at multiple points in time, made excuses, or brought up things that were entirely unrelated to the situation.

It should also be noted that the leaking of his Pinterest account also recontextualized several videos he'd made on TikTok where he'd duet underage girls, and videos with the children he lived with at the time.[15] In the end, Daniel was found guilty of owning the Pinterest account, even though he adamantly denied it.

After the Zoom meeting concluded, Daniel would delete his Pinterest account on November 20th, at around 2:50 PM CST.[16] On November 21st, which can be ascertained from duets made on his TikTok,[17] Daniel posted his first of many apologies, in which he admitted that he had "...used pictures of girls and masturbate[d] to them."[citation needed]Only a day later, Daniel went into lockdown mode. He not only disabled comments, but he also deleted and/or set his videos to private, especially ones about Grace VanderWaal, as well as setting his liked videos to private.[18] He even went as far as to temporarily deactivate his TikTok account starting from the 24th,[19] coming back to the platform sometime in December.

In December, Daniel would be interviewed by The Delegation Podcast on the 6th regarding his Pinterest account and his general views on things such as duetting videos of children, as well as his relationship with Breanna and the other child he was living with. Daniel claimed that Breanna was his "half-sister", and he had no intention of doing any sexual to her. Additionally, Daniel claims to have been blackmailed by record labels he was a part of to say several incriminating things regarding children, as well as saying that the reason he had photos of children saved to his phone was because of his career as a fashion model.

After this, the Delegation Podcast would take it upon themselves to report Daniel to the police under the suspicion that he was in the possession of CSEM.

The First Dark Age

On December the 12th, the afformentioned Delegation Podcast would report Daniel to the FBI in the wake of the allegations against him following the leaking of his Pinterest account. Ironically, on the same day, Daniel would resurface, claiming that there was proof of Roach Records being in charge of the Pinterest account.[20]

The Podcast hosts would create a live stream where they would show off more proof of Daniel's pedophilia, including saved searches from Daniel's then Instagram account which contained severely underaged girls. After showing off the evidence, the two men in charge of the podcast would begin a phone call wherein they reported Daniel to the FBI as they were under the assumption that he was in the possession of illegal images of minors.

Afterwards, Danieled claims to be suing "The Diligent Broadcast" for blackmail and teaming up with Roach Records, purportedly ganging up against Daniel. This video was directed at The Delegation Podcast, though this obviously would never happen.[21] While video's from this time are hard to find, It is noted that Daniel made a post where he informed his followers that his phone calls and messages are being monitored by the Denver police following the call made to the FBI.[22] On the 17th, Daniel would make his final post, claiming himself to be auditioning for America's Got Talent. Despite him telling his audience to, "Please stay tuned", he would not post again after this.[23]

While it is unknown what the circumstances surrounding his disappearence are, it is most likely due to the several calls to FBI that resulted in him losing access to social media, especially given the fact that Daniel lived around children during the time.
