So idk if this makes sense so I’m going to use numbers. If I take something, and shoot it let’s say a bullet. Into the air. The first second it will be slowing down at 9.81m/s if I’m not mistaking because gravity is pulling it down that fast. At the 2nd second. Will gravity be pulling it down at 9.81m/s still or will it go to 19.62m/s? Like will the speed be stacking essentially for how fast it slows down?

No, the object’s speed will slow down but the acceleration it is receiving, due to gravity, is a constant 9.81 m/s^2. I think you are mixing speed and acceleration.
It will slow down at the same rate every second.
