>Thing is....the tragedy was just a medium for the pay off.

That actually was the problem I had with my story idea. I was worried that I want to get to the post dark (well, post very dark) part.

>Not everything has to be really powerful characters and flip the table by burning your house or giving huge twists to reach darkness and give a serious sense.

Exactly. Subtle Perhaps sometimes something small that is realized over time. One of the bigest problems with dark moments and dramatic moments in general they are used to the point that they are not shocking, just overdone. often going right into the raw emotion part. If you are going to have a character bring down his world in revenge for whatever angsty reason, at least show a build up for it. If you are going to show someone who has family troubles, show the cause, not just the anger afterwords. In many ways it would be more dark and subversive to have it the point of view of the common sterotypes antagonist in these things.
