Homeless Era
In March of 2022, Daniel ran away from his caretaker Jonas and housemate Gavin, starting the Homeless Arc.
Arc Trigger
Before this arc started, Daniel was living with a host named Jonas (Jonez / Jonaz) and a housemate named Gavin. The household was in a constant state of chaos, [1] and at one point Daniel was "poisoned" with mustard or jalapeños in his Mac and Cheese. Daniel fled from the house, as he was tired of the chaos that ensued within Jonas' household. The departure may have also been influenced by one of his troll managements. This "manager" informed him that Grace VanderWaal was in Colorado Springs, and that Daniel had 24 hours to get there (from Denver) if he wanted to be with her.
Survival
To some people's surprise, Daniel has been able to survive through various means, such as dine and dashing or relying on fans to pay for meals. Since he is almost constantly on his phone (see: him running an entire marathon, phone in hand), he would usually charge his phone at restaurants or other public areas. Occasionally, he resorted to trespassing.
Wear and Tear
Being without a home does not provide the ample opportunity for bathing, but it doesn't help that Daniel will actively refuse it. Daniel was in a visibly dirty state for months on end.
Conclusion of Homeless Arc
The Homeless Arc came to a close when Daniel was approached by Briiink, two teenage boys who were fans of Daniel. Briiink took Daniel out for meals, bathing, and a haircut, allowing him to look presentable to the public once more. Daniel was then introduced to Twitch, a popular streaming service, by "Ox", a discord user. Through Twitch, he was able to receive donations to where he could afford to stay in a hotel and AirBnB, where he currently resides.
