My favorite personal Spoon headcanon is that Chen made an instagram profile for him and now he is more popular than even Ortega’s instagram.
I see it like that: Chen posted one photo of him on his official Marshal profile when he got him, most likely because pr agent made him do something personal to idk connect with people or something. The photo got wildly popular, Spoon is so darn cute on it. Chen decided, out of pure boredom to make a profile for him, with this conviction that it will be amusing for a while and when it stops he will just delete it. No harm done.
But he did not foresee just how popular Spoon got. Like Spoon is wildly cute and has a tendency to make hilarious poses out on his own, Chen have always phone on him in case of emergency. And so he got lots of photos that people loved and soon, Spoon got at a level of small celebrity in town. So much that people completely forgot why he got famous in the first place and now he isn't even remotely connected in people’s eyes with Marshal.
Why do I love it? because I found it hilarious that when Sidestep goes on a walk with Chen he doesn't have to worry about being spotted because nobody recognizes Chen as Marshal in his civilian clothes. But when they go on a walk with Spoon they have to constantly redirect people attention elsewhere because somebody spots Spoon constantly and non stop try to approach them for photo.
Also imagine this scene: somebody spots Spoon recognise him as a local celebrity and rush to take a photo. They don't even raise their eyes at the owner when they ask if they can take a photo. They got positive answer but the voice is somehow familiar. They look up and holy fuuuck its motherfucking Marshal of Rangers. It would be equivalent if you saw Grumpy cat on the street and then suddenly realized Obama was his owner.

Behold, the fruit of the bashful Chen poll. It was meant to be a single pinup-like illustration, but one thing led to another (and with valuable inspiration from @ladyshivs and @extreme-neutral), it ended up as another choose your own smut 😌😌.
