I wrecked the ceiling/ wall bringing down a sofa. I’m a new home owner so not sure how to fix this. I have the paint since we repainted everything.

Not sure if I should use the pink stuff or something else. Any suggestions?

EDIT - Thanks all for the advice and suggestions. I was able to rebuild the corner using spackle and have sanded it. I put on the first coat of paint and am quite confident this will look as if there were no damage at all.

The pink stuff (spackle) also never really hardens, can't stand it for even small repairs.

Drywall mud is where it's at for patches.

spackle is more foolproof i guess, but drywall mud is absolutely where it's at.
