damn Peppino, how you got FIVE ladies following you? (This is a joke Peppino has no romantic or sexual attraction to any of the topping ladies and sees them as friends except anona)

Ever hears of retakes of remakes :]

yea I accidentally begun doing remakes again but to make them different I will not be doing a scene and instead draw 2 characters or 2 versions of 1 character

(plus the normal version later)

Here's the Poached Chef and Milkstrocity respectively. I'll post their normal (and colored) looks later on

13th of july • summer study challenge ☀️

what are your plans for this summer?

basically my main plan is to pass my retakes! i have three in total, the first one starts on the 17 of august. it’ll be a challenge cause i have to work as well so i hope i get everything done.

other than that i really want to start working on my driver’s license. i still need to do the theory bit but since neither of my parents can drive i have to rely on friends and such if i need extra help.

and lastly i’m also trying to become more fit this summer! i’ve been cycling a lot and my legs are sore 24/7 but i really like doing it cause the route i take is very nice.

EDIT: It looks like the gif I exported is too big for tumblr. I’ll have to re-export and re-upload later tonight.

It’s that time again. My contract on Bojack is wrapping up soon and I’m looking for work leads.

I’m retaking first year exams - the pressure of passing is crushing me! How did you do it? When will it end!?

Hi there, sorry to hear you’re doing retakes! It always sucks, I know. But DON’T PANIC! It’s so important not to panic, stay calm. 

Try and change your mindset from ‘shit I need to pass this’ to ‘I’m so lucky I have another chance to pass this’ - and remember, you’ve taken this exam before so really you’ve got a head start, you know what to expect. 

What really helped me was taking things one at a time - I wrote down the things I’d failed/been bad at, and then slowly went through the list, ticking things off as I went. Be methodical and focus on the things you need to improve on the most.

And most of all, remember that in a few months no one will care or even remember that you had to do retakes!

Message me if you want to chat more! x

Hey dx. I'm a first year med student and I just failed my exam in histology. I feel crushed, do you have any advice on how to pick yourself up after a failed exam? Thank you (and sorry if this has already been asked before)

Hey! I’m really sorry to hear that your exam didn’t go well. Unfortunately, this happens to a lot of students; it doesn’t mean you aren’t a good student and won’t do well in the future. Out of the people I know well from med school, for example, only one person had never failed an exam.  So, yeah, it’s much more common than most people think. Exams are tough, and sometimes we don’t do as well as we’d like, and we have to learn from them. The first step is to remind yourself that it’s not just you. It hurts, and it can be embarrassing, but it gets better and pretty soon nobody will care whether you failed a couple of exams or not. So hang in there. 

First, you need to take your mind off it for a short time. I’d take some time to do things like:

spend time with friends and family

indulge your hobbies and interests

pick up that book/series/game you’ve been putting off

go on holiday, or shopping, or whatever indulgences you enjoy and can afford.

re-establish your daily routine.

Take walks, do some exercise, do things that make you feel alive.

clean your workspace or living space- you don’t have to make it spotless, but make it livable enough that it doesn’t get you down. I find cleaning after oncalls or exams makes me feel human again.

For a short period. You don’t need to start revising straight away; it often helps to take a break for a few days to gather your bearings. During revision, we normally put the rest of our life on hold, but that’s not good for our mental health or general wellbeing. So don’t put yourself on hold for too long; you need to be you, too. This is also the time to seek help from uni or your GP if you are struggling; try to get on top of what in your life might have contributed to your exam problems, and try to be honest with university abut why that is. They can help you and they can accommodate you if you are struggling, so please don’t suffer alone.

Then, get feedback from university if you can. About why you failed, and which topics are letting you down, if possible. That’ll help you plan your future revision. If not, you’ll have to go by how you felt about the exam.

When it comes to revising, revision buddies can be helpful; some use their friends that passed, others hang out with other people who didn’t pass. Don’t spend too long revising with others; revising alone is usually more high yield, but revising with others can be good for working on concepts that you are stuck on. You can always contact your lecturers if there are topics you really struggled with; that’s another way to work through a ‘jam’ if you’re just not getting a topic or concept into your head.

Hope this helps :)
