I am not even sure where they are kept in my system,

their folder, and I only seem to have them here: see screenshots.
What I am asking is, Is there some way that we can download these themes to
use with our TDE desktop, without actually installing all the other KDE5
krap? This may benefit other TDE users, as well as my future self, if I
should ever lose these themes.
While gnome and KDE both have a few cursor themes made just for
them, cursors are handled by the X server. On my system they're stored
in /usr/share/icons , although I believe it's also possible to install to a
subdirectory in ~ .
While I can't trace the origins of any of the cursor packages shown in
your screenshot specifically, I doubt they're part of KDE5 as such—your
distro may just have wanted to provide a rich set of cursor options, and
so grabbed a bunch from who-knows-where. Or you may have installed
them yourself, then forgotten (it's happened to me).
As far as I can tell, the Gentoo packages for individual cursors just unpack
them into /usr/share/icons and don't require any particular DE to be installed,
so you can probably just copy the files somewhere if you want to reinstall
the cursors at a later time. As for downloading them, you'll need to find out
where they're originally from first, but it should be possible to get them as
standalones.
