Am i fucked? I'm due to move out in a few months and I did this while cleaning. Any repair advice or at least make it look presentable?

There are two factors to consider here.
1 - How much is your security deposit
2 - How much do you feel your time is worth
3 - How long would it take you to repair any damage

If 1 is less than 2x3, then it's not worth dealing with.

Also, that's wallpaper, there's no easy fix for that. You'd need to remove a section of wallpaper, plaster & sand the hole, find matching wallpaper, and patch it in.

I can't remember the first two, I'd have to look it up but can't I make it look at a least a bit better?

This is the standard wallpaper here for some reason, you get it in all rentals.

Try to CA glue it back in place. If it gets past schlomo then you win. If not then you haven't invested too much time trying.

When my roommates and I moved out of our last place, there was a hole in the drywall, put there by angst.
We covered it with a calendar when the landlord's inspector came by and they didn't catch it til it was too late and we were long gone with our security deposit secure.

Hang something in front of it and make it really hard to take down

LOL love this.
Hilarious.

Op should try to gently tease it out, first try steaming the wallpaper free and see if it expands the drywall underneath, then re-lay the wallpaper as flat as you can and glue it carefully, it'll look passable.

Because that is wallpaper with a textured pattern, there's really no way to make that not glaringly obvious unless you do a legit repair.

I guess maybe you could try finding a piece of the same wallpaper and glue it over the hole.

In my previous rental I just filled a hole with builders bog, sanded it back and dabbed it with a bit of paint. Problem solved

This, if you're lucky you can steal a square of wallpaper from inside a closet or behind a cabinet or something where they won't notice until it's too late.

no just a typical white paint wall, wallpaper isn't really a thing in my country
