How to change cursor to block blinking in insert cuz i hate the thin bar…

2

See :h guicursor.

You can set it to n-v-c-sm-i-ci-ve:block,r-cr-o:hor20,a:blinkwait700-blinkoff400-blinkon250-Cursor/lCursor.

Add
vim.o.guicursor = 'n-v-c-sm-i-ci-ve:block,r-cr-o:hor20,a:blinkwait700-blinkoff400-blinkon250-Cursor/lCursor'
to your init.lua.

What about the cursor color? asking out of curiosity

See :h hl-Cursor. It is not guaranteed to work. There are a lot of issues related to that in Neovim repository.

like in telescope. i dun wan it to be block…

Telescope prompt is Insert mode, not Command mode.

If you want Command mode cursor to be vertical line it can be n-v-i-sm:block,c-ci-ve:ver20,r-cr-o:hor20,a:blinkwait700-blinkoff400-blinkon250-Cursor/lCursor.

It won’t work for Telescope.
