Is there like a Qt environment variable or something I can use to stop text cursor blinking?

I started using i3wm, so I had to configure my theming manually, and I used lxappearance to generate me a ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini which I could configure myself once it was setup. But that's just for GTK. So I got some package, can't remember the name, but it adapts GTK2 theming to Qt5 theming, and you pass "QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2" to the Qt program you want to theme. But GTK cursor blinking settings don't get through to Qt programs.
I wanted to stop cursor blinking on Qt programs, so I got qt5ct and configured that, which involves passing "QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct" to whatever program you want it to affect. It also has the feature of being able to apply your GTK theme to Qt programs.
I'm all set, right? Nope. Some programs, like Qutebrowser, don't play nice with dark GTK themes so I can't use that qt5ct environment variable to stop cursor blinking in every Qt program and be able to keep dark GTK theming with behaving programs at the same time.
I was hoping there was some QT environment variable that would disable text cursor blinking, but I couldn't find anything. Anyone know what I can do?
