He would definitely be of the Meticulous Goth subtype rather than the Grunge Goth subtype. And no one understands how he keeps everything clean, no matter what he's doing. (The intimidation factor of being able to wear all white while kicking ass is in fact a device M has used for an NPC in a game he was running, and it applies to LWJ so much. If he was ever showing a stain on his robes in canon, it was a sure sign shit was serious.)

I think WWX will never really think of Cloud Recesses as a whole as home, but it won't matter that much, because his actual home is just wherever LWJ is. It will be another instance of there-but-apart for him, but the real difference this time will be the stability, the absolute sureness LWJ provides. The fixed point around which WWX can orbit that refuses to allow itself to be moved. LWJ has practiced steadiness his whole life--perhaps now he finally knows why. So: I think Cloud Recesses will learn to bend just enough to make a space for WWX, but he'll likely never really be part of the Gusu Lan. (He will always be the Yiling Patriarch.) I feel like there might be a period at first where he tries to abide by (more of) their rules, out of a desire to not shame/undermine LWJ, but it's a doomed effort, and LWJ will find a way to let him know it was appreciated but unnecessary. He's already brought alcohol into Cloud Recesses for WWX without bothering to hide it, after all. He has no interest in changing WWX in anyway, not after 16 years without him. Anyone who doesn't like it can kick rocks, as far as LWJ is concerned.
