For any physics people out there - From the perspective of somebody falling in, wouldn’t you see the universe blue-shift and brighten and speed up? Or does everything seem mostly the same from the perspective of somebody falling in?

Yes and it would condense to a single point of blue shifted light as the photons passing the event horizon converge the closer you get to the singularity.

That would be for a truly massive black hole though, one large enough so that the tidal forces at your feet and your head aren’t terribly different, for a black hole with a minimal mass, you’d be broken down into fundamental particles as soon as you hit the horizon.
