What liking the colour pink REALLY says about your personality
People who like the colour pink tend to have 'a childlike innocence in their hearts' - but can also be 'fragile' and 'need to learn to be strong', according to a top psychologist.
In the 1940s, Swiss psychologist Max Lucier formulated a test inspired by the thesis that if two people share the same favourite colour they may share personality traits.
His theories have recently surged in popularity due to TikThought, a popular US TikTok account which shares videos addressing a wide range of psychological questions - both serious and lighthearted.
In a recent video on the account explains the theory that the colour pink, commonly associated with 'soft marshmallows, princess-like dreams and romantic warmth', is indicative of 'a childlike innocence' that, in turn, makes those who like the colour appear 'pure and harmless'.
The video says that those who favour pink tend to have 'an easygoing and kind personality'.
They are friendly people who are 'compassionate' and like looking after their friends and family.
It also explained that those who like pink have a 'gentle temperament' often makes others want to protect them.
When it comes to their love lives, those who prefer pink to other colours tend to be romantics who 'long for a life full of love and harmony'.
They might crave a love that is reminiscent of fairytales while they are universally seen as 'considerate and delicate little angels' by friends.
But, according to TikThought, those who love pink may also struggle as a result of their 'delicate' temperament.
The can be especially sensitive to what other people say or do and may feel bruised by the slightest criticism or a little neglect.
They can equally be dreamers who 'immerse themselves in their own fantasy world and escape the edge of reality.'
Being prone to fantasy, they might encounter more disappointment than others when reality fails to match up to what they have imagined.
'When reality is not as good as expected, they will feel at a loss,' TikThought added.
Compared to a crystal ball, those who are drawn to pink offer clarity but are also fragile.
'They touch people's hearts with their kindness and simplicity but they also need to learn to be strong and take good care of their sensitive souls,' the video concludes.
A number of TikThought's fans were convinced by the picture the account painted of someone who loves pink.
One person commented: 'This is ODDLY specific to me'.
Another agreed: 'A little too accurate'.
While a third, apparently referring to the video's claim that people who like pink are prone to fantasy, said: 'How did you know I do maladaptive daydreaming?'
Yet, others were sceptical about TikThought's characterisation of people who prefer pink to other colours.
One person said: 'I like pink but I'm soft hearted with anger issued.
Another stated: 'I love pink but I am NOT a little angel bro'.
Fans of TikThought who like the colour pink were quick to comment on the viral clip
Not everyone, however, agrees that their is a link between someone's favourite colour and their personality traits.
A study published in 2021 - titled What Does Your Favourite Colour Say About Your Personality? Not Much - looked into whether there was a connection between the two things.
Following their testing, the authors concluded: 'Favourite colours appear unrelated to personality, failing to support the practical utility of colour-based personality assessment.'

Ginny and Georgia, season 3, review: a perfect example of the addictive Netflix formula
In the market for a soapy drama about a beautiful, whip-smart single mother and her clever yet dreadfully dull and endlessly ungrateful teenage daughter? Gilmore Girls might have already nailed that formula 20 years ago, but because television is just an infinite cycle of reboots, sequels, prequels or blatant rip-offs these days, it was only a matter of time until a streamer tried to replicate that show's schmaltzy charm. Enter Ginny & Georgia (Netflix). Among Netflix 's most popular original series, it's back for a third season that is once again filled with – deep breath – murder, small-town politics, mother-daughter bickering, sex, snogging and property porn. One imagines it came about when an executive marched into work the morning after his daughter forced him to watch Gilmore Girls and demanded a modern update, only crossed with Narcos, because American audiences can't get enough of crime. Georgia (Brianne Howey) is a Southern belle and single mother-of-two with a dark past: childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, poverty. A cycle of marrying rich then moving on, culminated, prior to the events of the first season, in her murdering her grope-happy husband (spoiler alert: he's not the only man she's sent to the pearly gates). Now, a few years on, her perfect new life in an idyllic New England town – complete with perfect New England man, in the form of local mayor Paul Randolph (Friday Night Lights' Scott Porter) – is starting to unravel. Season two ended with Georgia being escorted in handcuffs from her fairytale wedding to Paul , accused of murdering a neighbour's terminally ill husband. In her eyes, it was a mercy killing, though the rest of the town – and the law – doesn't see it that way. Most of season three's 10 episodes revolve around the court case, which turns into a media sensation. Howey is warm, funny and impossible not to root for, despite her penchant for killing off her exes. Flashback scenes patch together her traumatic past (her younger self affectingly portrayed by Nikki Roumel) and further elicit the audience's empathy: she might be a killer, but all of her victims were abusive or cruel. She might lie and steal, but it's only to provide for her family. The latter consists of teenage daughter Ginny (Antonia Gentry), possibly the most annoying TV character to have emerged in the past decade – and I've watched all of And Just Like That, so I'm unfortunately familiar with Che Diaz – due to her constant whining, whingeing and weeping. Fair enough, her mother's a criminal, her little brother (Diesel La Torraca) is painfully shy, troubled and keeps mauling other kids at school, but that's no excuse. Ginny and Georgia would benefit hugely from the showrunners omitting the Ginny half of the title. Season three ends, as expected, with Georgia walking free, having recruited her kids to frame an old nemesis for the crime. After bingeing all 10 hour-long episodes, you might find yourself in a rut of self-loathing: 'I know this isn't 'good',' you'll think, 'so why can't I stop watching?' Because it's the perfect example of the Netflix formula: soapy, cheesy fun led by unbelievably good-looking actors. It's not The Sopranos. It's not even Gilmore Girls. It's just shiny, addictive escapism.

I'm a stay-at-home mum but my husband pays me for housework - I charge him £800 a month for laundry
A woman has claimed she bills her husband a monthly rate to be a stay-at-home mother. The British mother-of-two, known as @thewoodys6 on TikTok, said she charges her partner £800 a month for doing the laundry, £10 a day for mopping the floors and £85 for dusting. For home-cooked meals, she claimed she expects to be paid £300 a month, however her husband can opt for microwaved meals at a reduced cost. She also claimed she charges £20 for changing their super king-sized bed sheets because it's 'exhausting', and £250 for fuel for her car so she can treat herself to 'brunch'. In the clip, which racked up 250,000 views, she added: 'I charge him £400 for my luxuries, so when I need to get my hair and nails done, or any little bits that I see in the shop that I need to pick up. 'I also charge him an additional £150 to just do the children's cooking, but don't tell him I basically just feed the children chicken and chips.' Many rushed to the comments to leave their own thoughts on the arrangement, with some claiming they would want a 'divorce' if their wife charged for chores. One unimpressed person said: 'I would divorce you in an instant. Definitely not value for money.' Another added: 'You'd get dumped.' Someone else added: 'You charge him? Are you for real?' A fourth added: 'Surely this isn't serious. You're a mother, they are your kids and your house, why does he have to pay you.' Another said: 'Now if I was your husband I would charge you rent of around £2,000 a month for putting a roof over your head.' However, many others got the sarcasm in the satire TikTok clip, with several people playing along in the comments. One person wrote: '£400 p/m for hair and bits in the shop that's more than reasonable. Love how many people are going mad at a TikTok.' Another quipped: 'What does he do for a living? He has a keeper with you, loving the satire.' Someone else added: 'I love this? Can we start charging the kids also? Like take their pocket money back.' Another joked: 'Can't wait to see my husband's face when I send him an invoice.' It comes after a fed-up wife gave her husband the option to either pay her to do housework or for him to pick up the slack. The married couple hired a cleaner but the husband thought it was a 'waste of money'. They had agreed previously that he and the kids 'don't do a great job keeping the house clean and tidy' while she was at work. To compromise she gave him two options, but he didn't like either and left the conversation upset claiming she's being 'financially manipulative'. The mother is a steamfitter earning $100 an hour - more than what her husband makes as a teacher - and often works 13-hour days. 'I think if he and the kids actually did what they are supposed to do when I'm away none of this would be an issue,' she wrote on Reddit. 'My husband is upset because I decided to pay for a cleaning lady... I hated coming home to a mess. It caused a few fights because it was like they expected me to come home and clean up after them,' she began. 'Having her (the cleaner) is fantastic. I come home to a clean house and I am happier. My kids have more time to study and do extracurriculars. They still have chores and they are still expected to clean up after themselves.' The husband asked to 'cut back' on the cleaning service when his wife is home and that she should be 'doing more housework'. 'He thinks that we are wasting money. I said that I work 14 days in a row and that those are 13-hour days. Yes it is mostly paperwork but his job as a teacher isn't much more physically challenging,' she continued. Many rushed to the comments to leave their own thoughts on the arrangement with some claiming they would want a 'divorce' if their wife charged for chores 'I said that I could offer him two options. If he wanted we could completely get rid of the service and him and the kids could make sure the house was in good shape when I got home. Or he could pay me my hourly rate to do extra housework when I am on my days of.' The husband was 'upset' and the wife turned to Reddit for advice on what to do. Fellow Redditors erupted in anger in the comments with many dissing the husband for his behaviour. 'A relationship is meant to go both ways. Your husband sounds like he wants you to do all the work without putting effort in himself. Poor form,' one wrote. A second claimed: 'This is definitely about control more than it is about cutting costs.' 'It's so disgusting how he loves to benefit off it, but tried to make sure the wife doesn't get any breaks,' someone else said. Another had further questions and said: 'Does he believe that cleaning is gender related and that is what he is teaching his children and his students? I would have a lot of questions on this one.' Someone else added: 'Um he is home he can clean. The adult who is home more cleans more it's quite simple. 'Honestly you shouldn't even have to hire a maid he should have taken that duty upon him. Instead its like he wants the old rules where wife cleans. We are past that s*** its 2024.'

7 Genius Ways Filmmakers Are Using iPads to Create Movies
What if the tool you carry in your bag every day could transform the way movies are made? For filmmakers, the iPad has become exactly that—a lightweight, portable powerhouse reshaping the creative process. Gone are the days when crafting a film required bulky equipment and endless stacks of paper. Today, directors, cinematographers, and editors are using iPads to storyboard scenes, control cameras remotely, and even simulate complex shots in 3D. It's not just a convenience; it's a revolution. The iPad is proving that some of the most new innovations in filmmaking don't come from massive rigs or high-end gear, but from a device that fits in your hands. What if the future of cinema is already sitting on your desk? In this guide Gary Scaife explore seven ingenious ways filmmakers are using iPads to elevate their craft. From streamlining script management to fostering seamless collaboration across teams, these tools are redefining what's possible on set and in post-production. You'll discover how apps like Procreate, LumaFusion, and are turning the iPad into a creative Swiss Army knife, empowering filmmakers to work faster, smarter, and more creatively. Whether you're a seasoned professional or an aspiring director, these insights might just change the way you think about your next project. After all, innovation often begins with reimagining the tools we already have. iPad Filmmaking in 2025 1. Enhancing Storyboarding with Digital Tools Storyboarding is a fundamental step in filmmaking, allowing you to visualize scenes before production begins. iPads simplify this process with powerful digital tools like Procreate and Storyboarder. These apps enable you to sketch, organize, and refine your ideas with precision. You can simulate camera movements, adjust layouts, and instantly share updates with your team. This streamlined approach not only saves time but also ensures a smoother transition from concept to execution. By integrating these tools into your workflow, you can bring your creative vision to life with greater clarity and efficiency. 2. Streamlining Script Management Managing scripts has become more efficient with the help of iPads. Apps like Final Draft Mobile and Celtx allow you to access, edit, and annotate scripts directly on your device. Whether you're highlighting key sections, making last-minute changes, or sharing updates with your team, these tools keep everyone synchronized in real-time. The ability to eliminate printed scripts reduces clutter and improves organization, especially during fast-paced productions. With instant access to updated scripts, you can ensure that every member of your team is on the same page, enhancing overall productivity. How Filmmakers Are Using iPads in 2025 Watch this video on YouTube. Below are more guides on iPad filmmaking from our extensive range of articles. 3. Transforming Remote Camera Control Remote camera control has become an essential feature in modern filmmaking, and iPads make this process more accessible than ever. Paired with apps like FiLMiC Pro or Blackmagic Camera Control, iPads allow you to adjust focus, exposure, and framing without needing to be physically near the camera. This is particularly valuable for complex setups or shooting in confined spaces. By using your iPad as a control hub, you gain precision and flexibility, making sure that every shot aligns with your creative vision. This capability is especially useful for directors and cinematographers looking to maintain control over intricate details. 4. Improving On-Set Organization Effective organization is critical to the success of any production, and iPads serve as a centralized hub for managing schedules, shot lists, and production notes. Apps like Shot Lister and StudioBinder enable you to track progress in real-time, making sure that every department stays aligned. With all essential information at your fingertips, you can quickly adapt to changes, address challenges, and maintain momentum throughout the shoot. This level of organization not only improves efficiency but also helps minimize delays, allowing you to focus on the creative aspects of filmmaking. 5. Facilitating Basic Video Editing While desktop systems remain the standard for full-scale editing, iPads are increasingly capable of handling basic video editing tasks. Apps like LumaFusion and Adobe Premiere Rush allow you to trim footage, add transitions, and apply color corrections directly on your device. This is particularly useful for reviewing dailies, creating rough cuts, or preparing quick previews for collaborators. The portability of iPads ensures that you can stay productive even when you're away from your primary editing setup. By incorporating these tools into your workflow, you can make quick adjustments and keep your project moving forward. 6. Advancing Pre-Visualization Pre-visualization, or pre-vis, is a crucial step in planning complex shots and sequences. iPads equipped with software like FrameForge or ShotPro enable you to create detailed 3D simulations of your scenes. These tools allow you to experiment with camera angles, lighting, and movement before stepping onto the set. By visualizing your ideas in advance, you can identify potential challenges and avoid costly mistakes. This proactive approach ensures a more efficient production process, giving you the confidence to execute your vision with precision. 7. Fostering Team Collaboration Collaboration is at the heart of filmmaking, and iPads excel at keeping teams connected. Apps like Slack, Trello, and assist seamless communication, whether you're sharing footage, exchanging notes, or coordinating tasks. With real-time updates and remote accessibility, iPads help bridge the gap between team members, making sure that everyone stays informed and aligned, regardless of their location. This enhanced connectivity fosters a more cohesive workflow, allowing your team to work together more effectively and bring your project to life.
