#Like I can totally see Ed sailing around with his darling and enjoying himself without that name looming over his head

So when the real Blackbeard was killed, his head was displayed as a threat to any pirates who may wander into the Chesapeake Bay. And that historical information makes me wonder if the whole “fake heads idea” is actually going to come back in the show as a final and grand fuckery.

Like, Stede already has experience with faking his death and getting people to believe that some random corpse is his. And maybe it‘ll show itself again when Edward is coming back to himself and wants to retire the name of Blackbeard once and for all.

So Blackbeard’s “head” is taken and displayed while Edward Teach gets to live on, getting to enjoy piracy with his love with all the pressure of his legacy off the table.
